Report: MLB Reinstated Brandon Taubman in 2020 After Outburst at Female Reporters

Major League Baseball reinstated former Astros executive Brandon Taubman in 2020 following a year-long suspension, according to the New York Post's Joel Sherman.

Taubman was fired as Houston's assistant general manager in October 2019, three days after he issued an explicit tirade toward three female reporters in the Astros' clubhouse. Taubman reportedly turned toward the reporters after Houston clinched the American League pennant before yelling multiple times "Thank God we got Osuna! I’m so f------ glad we got Osuna!"

The former Houston executive was referring to Astros closer Roberto Osuna, who was arrested on domestic violence charges while playing for the Blue Jays in 2018.
