The wave of anger against the Houston Astros over their cheating scandal shows no signs of receding as the new Major League Baseball season approaches. Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis is the latest player to vent his feelings as teams gather for spring training.
“It’s anger,” Markakis told reporters. “I feel like every single guy over there needs a beating. It’s wrong. They’re messing with people’s careers.”
MLB suspended Houston’s manager and general manager after an investigation concluded the club had used cameras to steal signs from opposing teams, allowing their batters to tell which pitches to expect.
