Ex-Astro Keuchel apologizes for sign-stealing scandal

Former Houston Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel became the first member of the 2017 World Series winning team to publicly apologize for illegal sign stealing on Friday.

Keuchel, who played for the Astros from 2012-18, was both apologetic and surprised by the attention received by the scandal.

"I think first and foremost, apologies should be in order ... for everyone on the team. When the stuff was going on, it was never intended to be what it's made to be right now," said Keuchel, who signed a three-year, $55 million contract with the Chicago White Sox last month.
