Astros’ scandal impacts more than just the Astros

This past week, the Houston Astros and Major League Baseball broke the internet. In one of the craziest weeks seen in recent sports history, not only did the commissioner’s office bring a mighty fist down onto the Houston Astros organization, but three managers and a general manager also lost their jobs.

Yes, the Astros were hurt by this. Not only did they have to pay a $5 million fine, but they were stripped of their first and second round draft picks for the 2020 and 2021 drafts and manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow were suspended for the 2020 season.
