Ex-Cardinals Scouting Director Chris Correa Sentenced To 46 Months In Prison For Astros’ Data Breach
MLB Trade Rumors ^ | July 18, 2016 | Steve Adams

The New York Times reported last summer that the Cardinals were the subject of a federal investigation in connection with multiple illegal breaches of the Astros’ proprietary computer network, Ground Control. Correa was ultimately fired by the Cardinals in July and was later charged.

Per Barron, the court denied a request that would’ve allowed Correa to subpoena documents from the Astros, who refuted the claim that they had any proprietary information of the Cardinals.

We’re not talking.

We’re just ....... talking.

Because we couldn’t say that. And we could say we did if we did say that.

He must have meant to do it. Hillary didn’t mean to do it. There’s a difference. Honest.

Hey, this is important stuff. Baseball, ya know.

I mean, National Secrets, Federal Communications, that’s all a big nothing.

He got 46 months?

So, stealing signs is, what, about two weeks?

‘Correa was able to access the Astros’ rankings of players in the 2013 draft.’

An unethical action for a boring goal: draft information. Lame action by a lame person. Correa seems bored at MLB and should get a job at a tire shop to keep him busy.

Forty six months—for that kind of time he should have dumped the entire DOD database on to a public server—and then tried the “do you know who I am” defense. :-(
