The Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal is one of the most controversial baseball stories of the 21st century.
A’s pitcher Mike Fiers, who played for Houston from 2015 to 2017, was responsible for breaking the story, as he first brought the Astros' wrongdoing to light in an interview with The Athletic.
In response to the story and subsequent MLB punishment, the Astros terminated the contracts of both manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow.
Hinch sat down with MLB Network this week and addressed the fact that one of his former players unmasked the reproachable conduct, as some notable names around baseball recently have criticized Fiers for violating his former teammates' trust.
