Major League Baseball's probe into alleged sign stealing by the Houston Astros is not expected to be finished until after the new year, according to Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic. It was previously rumored at the Winter Meetings that a report would be released before Christmas but Rosenthal and Drellich dismissed that rumor.
Commissioner Rob Manfred previously said that he hoped a verdict would be delivered before the 2020 season. The MLB investigation is expected to include the 2017, 2018 and 2019 season.
The investigation is also looking at more than 70,000 emails to determine the Astros' alleged sign-stealing efforts.
