Yesterday, it was a busy day for news around the MLB universe. Not because of the New York Mets, precisely, but because Major League Baseball announced the disciplinary measures to punish the Houston Astros for stealing signs during their 2017 championship run.
They used the replay room illegally to decode opposing team’s signs, and relayed them to batters by banging a trash can. Carlos Beltran, then a player in his last active year, participated in the scheme.
He went unpunished, though, so the Mets dodged a bullet. In other news, the team changed the name of its Spring Training complex.
