Former Cards scouting director to plead guilty in hacking, per report

The Cardinals scouting director who was fired earlier this summer for his alleged role in the hacking scandal that engulfed the club will plead guilty to charges filed against him, according to an online report Friday morning.

The Post-Dispatch has been able to confirm that movement is expected in the case Friday in Houston and that Chris Correa, the Cardinals' former scouting director, is appearing before a judge in Houston on Friday afternoon.

The Wall Street Journal, at WSJ.com, cited one unnamed source and suggested that Correa has "tentatively" agreed to plead guilty to five of 12 counts.
