Wild74 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Cardinals lose top 2 picks, must pay Astros $2M for hacking Published January 30, 2017 Associated Press Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Print Adam Wainwright delivers a pitch during the ninth inning of a game against the Brewers. (AP) Major League Baseball has ordered the St. Louis Cardinals to forfeit their top two picks in this year's amateur draft and pay Houston $2 million as compensation for hacking the Astros email system and scouting database. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred banned former St. Louis scouting executive Christopher Correa for life on Monday and stripped the Cardinals of the 56th and 75th draft choices in June. They must pay the Astros the money within 30 days. Correa pleaded guilty to five counts of unauthorized access of a protected computer from 2013 to at least 2014 and last July was sentenced by a federal judge to 46 months in prison and ordered to pay the Astros $279,038.65 in restitution.

DaveTV1 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 This is sort of what I hoped would happen. The picks are kind of low, but I'll take them. The Astros should be contenders soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The Cardinals got off light. Probably why they let their 1st round choice go this year to sign Fowler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
