This 2017 Astros sign stealing admission from Mike Fiers is taking off. Now three other former Astros have confirmed this and the three guys at the center are all managers now. Hinch is still manager of the Astros. Cora now manager of the Sox. And 2017 Astros DH Carlos Beltran is now manager of the Mets. All have been implicated in an elaborate technological method of stealing signs from the catcher using a camera hidden in the CF wall and relayed to the hitter by banging on garbage cans in the dugout.
This pisses me off as a Yankee fan. We kicked their ass at our park in 2017 in the ALCS yet lost all four games in Houston, including 3 1 run games. This is the ultimate in cheating. Punishments should be extremely severe. Multiple first round picks. Multi million dollar fines. Major suspensions for those who concocted this. And Hinch should lose a full season for being the final say so.
This couldn’t come at a worse time for the Astros. They just won the ROY and CY and have a good shot at MVP. They were three innings from winning another WS. But with the Brandon Taubman incident really showing that the Astros front office doesn’t know how to navigate this day and age and now the Astros being the only ones investigating at this point, it’s clear MLB needs to investigate and fix this
