The Houston Astros have fired assistant Brandon Taubman following a report that he yelled at a group of female reporters about the acquisition of closer Roberto Osuna.
According a report published earlier this week by Sports Illustrated, during the celebration in the Astros clubhouse after clinching the American League Championship Series on Saturday, Taubman allegedly turned to the female reporters -- including one wearing a purple domestic violence awareness bracelet -- and repeatedly yelled, "Thank God we got Osuna! I'm so f---ing glad we got Osuna!"
Last season, Osuna, 24, served a 75-game suspension for violating MLB's domestic violence policy stemming from an incident that happened while he was a member of the Blue Jays.
