The owner of the St. Louis Cardinals said on Wednesday he was committed to finding out if anyone in his organization hacked into the Houston Astros' computers to steal team secrets and that any offenders "will be held accountable."
Federal authorities are investigating the Cardinals to determine who, if anyone connected with the baseball team, was involved in the data breach concerning Astros' trades, proprietary statistics and scouting reports.
"These are serious allegations that don't reflect who we are as an organization," William DeWitt Jr. said in a statement.
"We are committed to getting to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible, and if anyone within our organization is determined to be involved in anything inappropriate, they will be held accountable.
