I'd say the commissioners office told them too. I'm no Astros fan but cheating is part of the game. Sandpaper ky jelly Vaseline cork potatoes sharpened spikes I've used or seen all of them used to do the one thing all teams want...Win. Players police the game not league office or umpires.
Only hits count.

The apology will be legit in my mind when everyone, including the players, give back the rings and the money. Exactly. It’s a joke.

..... its sports politics. Great phrase. Everyone sport cheats because it is big money.

Getting caught cheating Hasn't stopped the Patriots(or other teams for that matter) in the NFL and wont stop any of the teams in MLB. Finding creative ways to win is and will always be part of the game. The Astros just got caught is all. There will be another.
Save face by apologizing..... its sports politics. This will stop teams from running this particular type of scam. The game (including fans) will be scrutinizing every detail that could indicate a pattern. Arguing about what type of cheating is worst is unproductive, but I see this as beyond any of the typical comparisons. I’m sure other teams have done something similar, but I think it’ll stop them too. It’s very likely that the Astros wouldn’t have squeaked by the Yankees in the ALCS or the Dodgers in the WS in 17...impossible to know, but I can’t see any way around Altuve’s MVP being bogus. It was really close between he and Judge anyway. It all sucks. I think they should get a multiple year postseason ban, vacate the title, and Altuve be stripped of the MVP by the BBWA.

Some of those guys had 100pts difference in their home vs traveling batting averages.
Altuve:
Home: .472 BA/.513 OBP/1.028 SLG/1.541 OPS, 17 H, 6 HR & 12 RBI
Away: .143 BA, .268 OBP, .229 SLG, .497 OPS, 5 H, 1 HR & 2 RBI

Sign stealing has been going on for years. The Astros just utilized different means to obtain the signals.
"Hate is an acid that does more damage to the vessel in which it is stored, than the victim on which it is poured."
"Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity."
