The Major League Baseball world was turned upside down this week when the Houston Astros were found guilty of electronic sign-stealing during their championship run in 2017.
The penalties included suspensions for general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch, who were then fired by the Astros, as well as a $5 million fine and the loss of first- and second-round draft picks in 2020 and 2021.
MLB is also currently investigating the Boston Red Sox for a similar form of electronic sign-stealing during their championship season in 2018. Although the investigation has not yet concluded, the Red Sox already decided to mutually part ways with manager Alex Cora.
