A former baseball executive will spend the better part of the next four years in jail for hacking into another team's personnel database.
Former St. Louis Cardinals scouting director Chris Correa was sentenced Monday to 46 months in federal prison for breaking into the Houston Astros' files. According to court documents, he also must pay restitution of $279,038.65.
Prior to sentencing by Judge Lynn Hughes, Correa read a letter in court apologizing for his actions, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Correa gained access to the email account of at least one Astros employee, according to court documents, and two accounts in the Ground Control database.
