Here's something I don't understand: MLB found the Astros stole signs in 2017 and won the World Series. But the cheating was supposedly limited to that year. So, team cheats and wins it all, then decides to stop cheating... because it worked too well the prior year??? That is the part I wonder about--is MLB trying to do damage control by limiting this to a single season?

[Or the year after Cora left, the Astros' cheating stopped, and the Red Sox won the WS. But nobody tried to cheat in 2019. Because it worked too well for two years in a row,]
