On Monday afternoon, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the Houston Astros punishment for their sign-stealing scheme involving video technology when they won the 2017 World Series. GM Jeff Luhnow and Manager AJ Hinch have both been suspended for one baseball season, the team is fined $5 million, and their first- and second-round draft picks have been revoked in 2020 and 2021.
Soon after, Astros owner Jim Crane quite publicly fired Luhnow and Hinch.
MLB is also investigating the Boston Red Sox for their own sign-stealing system involving the replay review room. In the wake of Alex Cora being responsible for both scandals, the Red Sox and Cora decided to mutually part ways before MLB likely suspends him for a year as well.
