FBI investigates Cardinals for hacking into Astros' database
Report: FBI investigates Cardinals for hacking into Astros' database
ESPN.com news services
The St. Louis Cardinals are being investigated by the FBI for allegedly hacking into networks and trying to steal information about the Houston Astros, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
According to the Times, the FBI and Justice Department officials have evidence that Cardinals officials -- who were not identified -- allegedly tapped into the Astros' database and had access to statistics, scouting reports and internal discussions about players, trades and other proprietary information.
Major League Baseball issued a statement Tuesday that it has cooperated fully with the investigation, which started last year after some information was posted anonymously online.
"Major League Baseball has been aware of and has fully cooperated with the federal investigation into the illegal breach of the Astros' baseball operations database," the MLB statement said. "Once the investigative process has been completed by federal law enforcement officials, we will evaluate the next steps and will make decisions promptly."
Both the Cardinals and Major League Baseball have been served with subpoenas, the Times reported, but no actions have been taken against the officials under investigation.
According to the Times, the FBI believes that Cardinals officials gained access to the Astros' database by using a list of passwords associated with Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow dating to his tenure with the Cardinals from 2003 until he left for Houston after the 2011 season.

I'm surprised that no one has commented on this story. I know we have Cardinals and Astros fans on these boards!

I am running out of things to say about these kinds of stories. I guess nothing surprises me anymore.

Seriously, I mean if they were going to take the risk, you would have thought they would pick a better team than the LAstros.
I mean look at the LAstros recent records:
2011 56-106
2012 55-107
2013 51-111
2014 70-92

Deflategate, Mayweather/Pachio shoulder gate, FIFA, CardinalAstrogate. NASCAR's unwritten motto is "if you ain't cheatin' - you ain't tryin' ". Are professional sports legit?
Even my beloved Packers were accused of letting one side of the field freeze and using heater coils on the other (then switching the heat at halftime) during Lombardi's era.
I'm starting to lose faith in the legitimacy of the professional sports world. Probably only a matter of time before the next Black Sox conspiracy is brought to light.
