Former Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora took "full responsibility" for his role in the 2017 Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal while responding to the conclusion of Major League Baseball's investigation into the 2018 Red Sox sign-stealing scheme Wednesday:
MLB released official findings from an investigation into the Astros on Jan. 13.
Cora served as the Astros bench coach in 2017 before the Red Sox hired him as manager in 2018.
Commissioner Rob Manfred penalized the Astros for using in-game technology to illegally steal opponents' signs during their 2017 World Series title run by suspending then-manager AJ Hinch and then-general manager Jeffrey Luhnow for one year.
