The confirmation that the Houston Astros illegally stole signs during their 2017 World Series championship victory over the LA Dodgers has been the talk of baseball ever since Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich first broke news of the scandal in The Athletic late last year.
Who was involved? What would the punishments be? How would the team respond to the barrage of questions from the press? How will opposing players react? And would the Astros apologize for their actions?
So far we know that Carlos Beltran and Alex Cora have emerged as key figures in the scandal.
