It's been five years since the Houston Astros Cheating Scandal broke via an article in The Athletic. The Astros trash can banging scheme set the sports world ablaze. The Astros cheated in 2017, the year of their 2017 Astros World Series title. In the five years since, we've gained some perspective. We've learned the Astros sign stealing wasn't an isolated incident, and fines like the Red Sox apple watches and Yankees letter have been handed down by MLB to other teams. The Astros banging scheme was the most flagrant, but baserunner schemes were in use all over the league.
