JUPITER, Fla. — The Cardinals, yes, were the franchise of Chris Correa, the rogue team executive who hacked into the Houston Astros’ computer system. That happened.
But in the past four months, the Astros:
• Have had an executive fired for taunting female reporters about the success of a pitcher who had a domestic violence arrest.
• Were exposed as sign-stealers in the championship season of 2017, and in 2018, too.
• Had a manager and general manager who consequently were suspended and fired.
• Had players who poorly handled the cheating accusations publicly.
