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.
