Report: MLB Nearing Final Decision on Discipline for Astros in Alleged Sign-Stealing Investigation

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

Major League Baseball is looking to close out its investigation into the Houston Astros alleged sign-stealing within the next two weeks, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Passan reports the league is likely to discipline staffers including front office employees and on-field coaching personnel but not players. This could include Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch. A record-setting fine may also come down

The latest update comes after Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic reported that the 2018 Boston Red Sox used technology in the video replay room during games to tip off their players on the opposing pitchers' sign sequence.
