The Houston Astros’ punishment for stealing signs was overall fair and just, but don’t tell that to CC Sabathia. The former New York Yankees southpaw is still sore about his team losing to Houston in the 2017 American League Championship Series. The Yankees lost all four games at Minute Maid Park, and now we know it was because the Astros were cheating.
Houston also went on to win the World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers that year, all by illegal means. Thus, as far as Sabathia is concerned, his Yankees are the legitimate 2017 champions.
