Resolution Urges MLB to Strip Astros, Red Sox of World Series Titles, Name Dodgers Champs

The Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed a resolution to ask Major League Baseball to strip the Astros and Red Sox of the 2017 and 2018 World Series titles and award them to the Dodgers, according to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times.

Council members Gil Cedillo and Paul Koretz introduced the resolution, which called for MLB to remove both clubs' championship titles "in addition to the penalties already imposed."

The resolution comes a little over a week after commissioner Rob Manfred released a nine-page report detailing the Astros' illegal use of technology to steal opponents's signs throughout the 2017 regular season and postseason.
