Major League Baseball has concluded its investigation into the Cardinals’ ill egal accessing of the Astros’ proprietary database, ruling that St. Louis wil l have to send two draft picks to the Astros and pay a $2MM fine to the Astros as punishment, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced on Mo nday. The Cardinals will lose their top two picks, Nos. 56 and 75 overall, as punishment. Manfred also announced that former Cardinals scouting director Chr is Correa, who was fired and sentenced to prison time for accessing the Astros ’ database, has been placed on the “permanently ineligible” list. thus bann ing him from baseball. The Cardinals had already forfeited their top pick in the 2017 draft in order to sign Dexter Fowler to a five-year contract, and they’ll now be left withou t any selections in the top two rounds of the draft as a result of commissione r Manfred’s ruling. (The second pick they’re forfeiting is a Competitive Bal ance, Round B selection.) In addition to losing those two draft picks, the Car dinals will also lost the bonus slots that are associated with those selection s. Via the announcement on the matter, the league’s investigation “did not esta blish that any Cardinals’ employee other than Mr. Correa (who was the only in dividual charged by the federal government) was responsible for the intrusions into the Astros’ electronic systems.” As such, there are no penalties to fu rther Cardinals employees (either current or former). Manfred continues to sta te that he holds the Cardinals organization “vicariously liable for [Correa’ s] misconduct,” adding that the Astros “suffered material harm as a result o f Mr. Correa’s conduct.” Beyond the loss of proprietary knowledge that Manfr ed terms “not amenable to precise quantification,” he adds that the Astros “suffered substantial negative publicity and had to endure the time, expense and distraction of both a lengthy government investigation and an MLB investig ation.” Over the weekend, David Barron and Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle report ed that documents which were recently unsealed by a federal judge had expedite d the investigation and brought the commissioner’s office to the verge of a c onclusion. Per the Chronicle duo, Correa accessed the Astros’ “Ground Contro l” database on 48 instances over a span of two and a half years and also acce ssed Houston GM Jeff Luhnow’s trade notes on 14 occasions. Beyond that, assis tant U.S. attorney Michael Chu believes Correa to have been the responsible pa rty for leaking 10 months’ worth of private trade notes to Deadspin — all of which became available for public consumption back in 2013. The penalty is certainly not inconsequential for the Cardinals, but it’s alre ady drawn mixed reviews and assuredly will continue to do so. Ben Badler of Ba seball America, for instance, tweets that the league stripped the Red Sox of f ive prospects and imposed a two-year ban on Boston’s ability to sign internat ional prospects last year due to their efforts to circumvent international sig ning restrictions by signing multiple players in package deals. Meanwhile, the Cardinals will not forfeit so much as a top 50 overall pick in the upcoming 2 017 draft. Nonetheless, the Cardinals will feel the punishment in this summer’s draft. S t. Louis already had he second-lowest overall draft bonus pool, checking in at $3,925,500 this year, as Baseball America’s Hudson Belinsky recently reporte d. Now, they’ll lose pick No. 56 ($1,122,400) and No. 75 ($730,800), thereby dropping their overall pool to $2,072,300 — far and away the lowest in the le ague. (Cleveland’s $3,646,100 pool is the next-lowest, for context.) And the Astros, meanwhile, stand to benefit from today’s ruling as well. Hous ton had a $6,755,100 bonus pool that will now rise to $8,608,300 (also via Bel insky’s figures). That’s certainly a far cry from the 2014 draft, when Houst on had two of the top five picks (and three of the top 37) and a whopping $13, 362,200 pool. But, the bump to just over $8.6MM does give the Astros the 11th- largest pool in the 2017 amateur draft — a notable bump up from their previou s standing of 18th. 去年紅雀隊職員駭入太空人隊的電腦竊取選秀資料判決結果出爐，紅雀隊必須交出今年的前兩輪選秀籤以及兩百萬美元（讓兩輪？） -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.171.176.228 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/MLB/M.1485826529.A.329.html
