As full-squad workouts begin for all 30 MLB teams this week, many players have taken the opportunity to share their thoughts on the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal.
Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star Cody Bellinger didn’t hold back on his assessment of the situation, alleging the Astros cheated for three seasons and stole the 2017 World Series championship.
The claims drew a sharp response from Astros shortstop Carlos Correa, who defended his teammates and directed an expletive toward Bellinger.
Correa also explained that the club stopped its practice of banging on a trash can to signify to hitters which pitch was coming during the 2017 postseason.
