Arguably the biggest story in sports right now is the Houston Astros’ sign stealing scandal — which directly involves former LSU baseball star Alex Bregman.
In November, The Athletic reported that Houston stole signs electronically in 2017.
This week, after a lengthy investigation, MLB handed down some penalties related to the sign stealing. Astros manager AJ Hinch was suspended for a year (and subsequently fired). Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora (who hasn’t faced discipline yet from MLB due to their investigation of the 2018 Red Sox) and New York Mets manager Carlos Beltran were also fired (or “mutually parted ways”) because of the cheating scandal.
