Houston Astros Fire GM And Manager For Sign-Stealing

The Houston Astros' executives, Jeff Luhnow and A.J. Hinch, were fired after MLB suspended them for a year due to a sign-stealing scandal during the 2017 season. The investigation revealed the Astros used technology to steal signs, which is considered cheating. Despite the scheme being player-driven, no players were disciplined. The league is also investigating Alex Cora, the Red Sox manager, for similar tactics in 2018. The Astros face fines and loss of draft picks but remain strong contenders for the 2020 World Series.
