This offseason, the Houston Astros met their fate for the sign-stealing they took part in during the 2017 and 2018 campaigns. The ballclub — who won the World Series in the former year — saw then-manager A.J. Hinch and then-general manager Jeff Luhnow each receive a one-year suspension. Houston ended up firing either individual.
During that title-winning 2017 campaign, the Astros defeated the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series in seven games. When it first became public that the Astros cheated their way to a title, discussions arose on whether or not the Yankees were robbed of a trip to the World Series.
