The Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal is the story that just won’t go away, and frankly, I’m all for it. That’s what happens when the league office dolls out a relatively light punishment for one of the worst cheating scandals in the history of the league.
As a result, the story continues to gain steam even as teams have now reported to Spring Training. For the Blue Jays, there are three (technically four) people that were working in Houston during their championship 2017 season, which is the main point of contention for furious players around the big leagues. That would be Ken Giles, Derek Fisher, Dave Hudgens, and technically Teoscar Hernandez, although he only logged one at-bat with the Astros before getting traded to Toronto, so I think he’s off the hook.
