The Astros were caught using cameras to decode what opposing pitchers would throw during the 2017 season, when they won the championship, and in 2018.

An MLB investigation found the Astros watched opposing teams’ catchers when they signalled their pitches using a camera that’s supposed to be used for reviewing close plays, then would bang on a trash can in the dugout to let their batters know what kind of pitch was coming.

The Astros head coach and general manager were fired in January by the Astros organization, which was levied a $5 million fine by the league.

The Boston Red Sox and New York Mets also fired managers who were on the Astros at the time.
