However, it still remains a topic of hot discussion.The Houston Astros were found to have illegally used technology to steal signs during the 2017 season and possibly prior seasons. The Astros were found to have used a live video feed to decode the signs of opposing teams and then relay the information to their players by banging on a trash can.This sign-stealing scheme was first brought to light by former Astros pitcher Mike Fiers and was ultimately investigated by the MLB Commissioner's office. The investigation resulted in the firing of General Manager Jeff Luhnow and Manager AJ Hinch.Additionally, the Astros were fined $5 million and were forced to forfeit their first and second-round picks in the 2020 draft.
