Reports surfaced last June that documents taken from a Houston Astros' database had been posted online. Trade talks with the Washington Nationals were mentioned in the documents. Reports today say the St. Louis Cardinals face an FBI inquiry.
Late last June, a Deadspin.com report by Barry Petchesky broke the news that documents showing ten months' worth of Houston Astros', "internal trade chatter [had] been posted online at Anonbin, a site where users can anonymously share hacked or leaked information."
The proprietary information came from "'Ground Control'—a built-from-scratch online database for the private use of the Astros front office.
