Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk wants Major League Baseball to punish the 2017 Houston Astros as severely as possible, including taking away their World Series championship.
Grichuk spoke at length on Saturday morning about the sign-stealing scandal that has enveloped professional baseball after the Astros were punished for cheating throughout 2017 and 2018.
Astros manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow were fired on Monday, hours after both were suspended by MLB for a year for the team's sign-stealing scandal. "I think what a lot of people don't realize is how much it actually affects the game, not just wins and losses," said Grichuk. "It affects the guys in triple-A trying to get back to the majors. Guys who were compared to them in arbitration, how much they made. So now they're going to make less."
"Not much I can say about it. It is what it is," said Giles, who denied knowing anything about the sign-stealing operation. "I'm just going to move on from it. Everyone's got to move on from it. I'm more focused on here, what's going on here in Toronto right now."
