Houston set up a video camera in center field to relay opposing players’ signs to a television in the clubhouse. Astros personnel would then bang on a trash can to alert batters to the pitch the opposing player was going to throw. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said the cheating was widespread.

Players were granted immunity in MLB’s investigation, which is part of the reason no one was punished for cheating. A.J. Hinch, Jeff Luhnow, Alex Cora and Carlos Beltran all lost their jobs over the scandal. Hinch, the former Astros manager, and Luhnow, the former Astros general manager were suspended from baseball for a year. Cora and Beltran both left their managerial roles.
