LOS ANGELES _ It's official: The Houston Astros are cheaters. The commissioner of baseball himself said so, in a nine-page report issued Monday.
In his report, Rob Manfred cited the 2017 Astros for repeated violations of rules that banned the use of video equipment to steal signs during a game. In the last game of the 2017 season, the Astros won the World Series championship, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers.
