MLB World Shocked by Astros sign-stealing cheating scandal - GM, Manager & Boston’s Alex Cora fired
The reactions to the Houston Astros explicitly cheating through sign stealing has been a scandal that the MLB commissioner Rob Manfred wants the general public to forget.
Houston General Manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch have been fired, while Boston Red Sox head coach Alex Cora, who served as the Astros’ bench coach during the time the MLB investigation says the scandal happened, mutually parted ways with the team after the news from this scandal broke.
This came directly after the MLB announced sanctions including one-year suspension of both Jeff Luhnow and AJ Hinch, a $5 million fine and the elimination of Houston’s first round draft picks in both 2020 and 2021.
I personally think this scandal warranted the Houston Astros’ 2017 world series title being stripped from them, but I think the MLB did the best job it would in managing this sign stealing cheating scandal.

Carolina Panthers Linebacker Luke Kuechly Announces Retirement From NFL at 28
Superstar linebacker Luke Kuechly surprised everyone by retiring from the NFL at age 28 after only eight seasons, where he was one of, if not the best, linebacker in the entire league.
This may be bad for the NFL, as other superstar players like, Andrew Luck, Calvin Johnson, and Rob Gronkowski, have retired as well, but I respect Kuechly for the decision he made.

Zion Williamson Official 2020 NBA debut date released - He’s back quicker, faster, healthier than ever
The official NBA debut of Zion Williamson is set for next Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. This has been a long time coming for the Duke product, and probably the most anticipated NBA debut that I can think of since LeBron James.
New Orleans is going to be a different city on Wednesday night, with its potential franchise player putting on a Pelicans jersey on for the first time in his career.
