Amid all this scandal, the Mets get a rare mulligan in parting ways with a manager who wasn't right for them.

Did the Astros and Alex Cora get what they deserved? How aware were opposing players? Here's what those around the game told us.

Who could fill the unexpected managerial opening in Houston? Here are some names to watch.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray says he's still focused on football, but he says he thinks "it would be fun" to play professional baseball at the same time. "Athletically, I think, yeah, I could do it," he said.

The Giants made Alyssa Nakken the first female coach on an MLB staff Thursday. She will be in uniform, will travel, throw batting practice and hit fungoes, manager Gabe Kapler said.

Major League Baseball said Thursday that its investigation into stealing signs found no evidence that any Astros players wore electronic devices that would have notified them of certain pitches, including during the 2019 season.

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts says he doesn't think allegations of illegal sign-stealing taint the team's 2018 title.

The Houston Astros and outfielder George Springer agreed Thursday to a one-year deal to avoid arbitration, owner and chairman Jim Crane announced.

Carlos Beltran, before beginning his first season on the job with the New York Mets, became the third MLB manager to lose his job as a result of the Astros' sign-stealing scandal, joining AJ Hinch and Alex Cora.

Third baseman Josh Donaldson and the Twins have agreed to a four-year deal that includes $92 million guaranteed, with a chance it increases to $104 million in value if he hits escalators on a fifth-year club option, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
