This week, the MLB served justice onto the Houston Astros. After a large and impactful investigation, the league decided to suspend general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch for one year due to stealing signs in 2017 and 2018. Shortly after the suspensions were announced, Astros owner Jim Crane decided to fire both Houston staff members.
The former year in which the Astros illegally stole signs was the season in which they won the World Series. Prior to the Fall Classic, the Astros defeated the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series. Many Yankees from that team are happy about the sanctions placed on Houston.
