The Houston Astros' employment of assistant general manager Brandon Taubman has been under evaluation in recent days, according to sources, at a time when Major League Baseball is investigating an incident in the home clubhouse on Saturday.
Sports Illustrated reported on Monday that, following the Astros' elimination of the Yankees in the American League Championship Series, Taubman yelled repeatedly toward a group of female reporters in the team's clubhouse, "Thank God we got [Roberto] Osuna! I'm so f---ing glad we got Osuna!"
The Astros were criticized last year after their acquisition of Osuna, who served a 75-game suspension for violating MLB's domestic violence policy stemming from an incident that happened while he was a member of the Blue Jays.
