Even if the Astros are severely disciplined by MLB for using technology to relay signs to their hitters at Minute Maid Park, it will never be proven those acts cost the Yankees trips to the World Series in 2017, when they lost in seven games in the ALCS, and this past season, when they were eliminated in six ALCS games.
The Astros won all four at home in 2017 and two of three in Houston this year.
CC Sabathia was a member of those Yankees teams and the losing pitcher in Game 7 of the 2017 ALCS.
