The Astros defeated the Dodgers, four games to three, to win their first World Series in franchise history, also becoming the first team from Texas to do so. They became the second team in postseason history to win two Game 7s in one postseason, after the 1985Kansas City Royals.[2] It was the first time since 2001–2002 when two consecutive World Series went to seven games. Both teams set a World Series record with a combined total of 25 home runs throughout the entire series, including a team record 15 home runs by the Astros, and 10 homeruns by the Dodgers, and hit a combined total of eight home runs in Game 2 to set the single game World Series mark.[3] Houston outfielderGeorge Springer was named the World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP) after hitting five home runs in the series to tie a World Series record with Reggie Jackson in 1977 and Chase Utley in 2009.[4][5]
This was the first World Series in which home-field advantage was decided by the regular season record of the two pennant winners. From 1903 to 2002, home-field advantage had been determined by coin flips and by alternating between the AL and NL.[a] From 2003 to 2016, it was determined by results from that season's All-Star Game, when it was awarded to the team from the winning league.[7] The Dodgers earned home-field advantage over the Astros. The series was played in a 2–3–2 format, with the Dodgers hosting Games 1, 2, 6, and 7; and the Astros hosting Games 3, 4, and 5.[8]
The Astros' victory was marred in 2019 after a league investigation revealed that they had illegally utilized a system to steal signs from opposing teams during their championship season.[9] As a result, the Astros were fined $5 million and docked several top draft picks, while Astros manager A. J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow were suspended for one year; both were subsequently fired. However, Commissioner of BaseballRob Manfred opted against punishing any of the players involved or revoking the Astros' World Series title.[10]
This was the first World Series matchup, and second postseason meeting overall, between the Astros and Dodgers. Los Angeles defeated Houston in five games in the 1981 National League Division Series, en route to first their World Series championship since 1965.[11] The teams also met in the 1980 National League West tie-breaker game, won by the Astros at Dodger Stadium.[12] This was the first Fall Classic since 1970, and the eighth overall, in which both participants had 100 or more wins during the regular season.[13][14]
The Dodgers held a 91–36 record through August 25 and ended the season with a 104–58 record.[16][17] They won their fifth consecutive National League West title and home-field advantage throughout the entire playoffs as the overall #1 seed.[18] In the postseason, the Dodgers swept the 4th-seeded Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Division Series and then defeated the number 3 seed and defending World Series champion Chicago Cubs in the previous year's rematch of the National League Championship Series in five games,[19] leading to the fourth time since 2000 that two teams played each other in consecutive League Championship Series. This was the first appearance in the Fall Classic for the Dodgers since 1988, the tenth since the franchise moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958, and the 19th overall.[20]
Entering the 2017 World Series, the Dodgers bullpen had thrown 23 consecutive scoreless innings, a postseason record for a bullpen.[21] Additionally, by outscoring the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs by a combined 48–19 margin, the Dodgers entered the World Series with the third-best run differential of any pennant winner since the playoff structure was expanded in 1995.[22]
All-Star shortstop Corey Seager, who was out for the entire National League Championship Series with a back injury, was included on the Dodgers' World Series roster.[23] Manager Dave Roberts became first manager of Asian heritage ever in the World Series, as well as the fourth African-American manager.[24] The Dodgers had their second consecutive Rookie of the Year, Cody Bellinger, who hit 39 home runs in 2017. Clayton Kershaw finished second in Cy Young award voting, and closer Kenley Jansen finished fifth. The Dodgers had six NL All-Stars in Bellinger, Seager, Justin Turner, Kershaw, Alex Wood, and Jansen.
The Astros wore a patch during the 2017 World Series in support of Hurricane Harvey victims in HoustonJose Altuve was named the American League's MVP
With a 101–61 regular season record, the team won its first American League West title, their first division title since 2001, and the #2 seed in the AL.[25][b] In the American League Division Series, they defeated the 3rd-seeded Boston Red Sox in four games and then defeated the 4th-seeded New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) in seven games.[26] This was their second World Series appearance, first since 2005, when they were swept in four games by the Chicago White Sox[27] and first appearance as a member of the American League (which the team joined in 2013), as they became the first team in history to make it to the World Series as members of both National and American Leagues.[28]
The city of Houston in August 2017 suffered record flooding from Hurricane Harvey. The team began to wear patches which had the logo of the team with the word "Strong" on the bottom of the patch, as well as promoting the hashtag Houston Strong.[29][30] Manager A. J. Hinch has stated in an interview that the team wasn't just playing for a title, but to help boost moral support for the city.[31]
The temperature at the start of the game was 103 °F (39 °C), which made this the hottest World Series game ever recorded.[57]Clayton Kershaw started Game 1 for the Dodgers, while Dallas Keuchel started for the Astros.[58]
Chris Taylor hit a home run for the Dodgers on Keuchel's first pitch of the game. It was the third home run to lead off a game in Dodgers postseason history (following Davey Lopes in 1978 World Series and Carl Crawford in 2013 NLDS).[59]Alex Bregman hit a tying home run for the Astros in the fourth inning. In the sixth inning, Justin Turner hit a go-ahead two-run home run for the Dodgers. Turner tied Duke Snider for most career runs batted in (RBIs) in Dodgers postseason history with 26.[60]
Kershaw struck out 11 in seven innings pitched with no walks and only three hits allowed while Keuchel allowed three runs on six hits in 6+2⁄3 innings. Brandon Morrow pitched a scoreless eighth and Kenley Jansen earned the save.[61]
The two-hour, 28-minute game was the shortest World Series contest since Game 4 in 1992.[62]
The starting pitchers for Game 2 were Rich Hill for the Dodgers and Justin Verlander for the Astros. The Astros scored first when Bregman drove in Josh Reddick with a hit in the third inning. Hill struck out seven in four innings but was replaced by Kenta Maeda in the fifth. Joc Pederson tied the game with a home run in the bottom of the fifth inning, and the Dodgers took the lead when Corey Seager hit a two-run home run after Taylor walked in the bottom of the sixth inning. Verlander allowed two hits, both home runs, in his six innings pitched. Carlos Correa drove in the Astros' second run of the game on a single in the eighth, ending the Dodgers bullpen's streak of 28 consecutive scoreless innings in the postseason. Marwin González hit a home run off Jansen in the ninth to tie the game.[63] This was only Jansen's second blown save all season and snapped his streak of converting his first 12 postseason save opportunities, a major league record.[64]
The game went into extra innings. Jose Altuve and Correa hit back-to-back home runs off Josh Fields in the tenth inning to put the Astros in the lead. Yuli Gurriel doubled after the home run, but Fields was replaced by Tony Cingrani and Gurriel was stranded. In the bottom of the inning, Yasiel Puig hit a solo home run off of Ken Giles and Enrique Hernández drove in Logan Forsythe, who had walked and advanced on a wild pitch, to tie the game, with the latter being the Dodgers' first run that was not driven in by a home run. In the next inning, pinch-hitter Cameron Maybin singled and stole second. George Springer hit a two-run home run for the Astros off of Brandon McCarthy to retake the lead. In the bottom of the 11th inning, Charlie Culberson homered off of Chris Devenski, who later struck out Puig to end the game. This was the first ever World Series game in which a team hit home runs in the ninth, tenth and eleventh inning.[63][65] The teams set a new record for combined home runs in a single World Series game with eight[66] and this was the first time in MLB history, regular season or postseason, that five home runs were hit in extra innings.[67] The Astros won their first World Series game in franchise history as they had been swept in their previous appearance in 2005.[68][69]
The starting pitchers for Game 3 were Yu Darvish for the Dodgers and Lance McCullers Jr. for the Astros. The Astros scored four runs in the bottom of the second inning on a home run by Yuli Gurriel and RBIs by González, Brian McCann, and Bregman.[70] Darvish left the game after 1+2⁄3 innings, which was the shortest outing of his career.[71] The Dodgers scored one run in the top of the third inning as Seager grounded into a double play after McCullers loaded the bases with three consecutive walks.[70][72] The Astros added another run in the fifth on an RBI single by Evan Gattis and the Dodgers added two in the sixth on an RBI groundout by Puig and a wild pitch. McCullers wound up pitching 51⁄3 innings and allowed three runs on four hits.[73][74]Brad Peacock replaced McCullers, completing the final 3+2⁄3 innings with no hits allowed and four strikeouts to earn his first major league save. It was the longest hitless World Series relief outing since Ron Taylor's four innings in Game 4 of the 1964 Series, and tied Ken Clay for the longest hitless postseason save, first accomplished in the 1978 ALCS.[75]
Gurriel made a racially insensitive gesture in the dugout after his home run. He stretched the sides of his eyes and mouthing the Spanish word chinito, which translates to "little Chinese Boy"; Darvish is from Japan.[76][77] Gurriel apologized, and said that anyone from Asia is called a chino in Cuba, although he acknowledged knowing that the term was offensive in Japan from having played there.[76][78] As a result, Rob Manfred, the Commissioner of Baseball, suspended Gurriel for the first five games of the 2018 MLB season without pay, but allowed him to continue playing in the World Series.[79][80]
The starting pitchers for Game 4 were Alex Wood for the Dodgers and Charlie Morton for the Astros.[81] Springer homered off Wood in the bottom of the sixth for the first run of the ballgame. It was the only hit Wood allowed in 5+2⁄3 innings pitched in the game. Forsythe drove in Cody Bellinger to tie the game in the top of the seventh. Morton struck out seven and only allowed three hits and one run in 61⁄3 innings.[82]
Bellinger then drove in the go-ahead run with a double in the top of the ninth off of Giles and the Dodgers added four more runs on a sacrifice fly by Austin Barnes and a three-run homer by Pederson. Bregman hit a home run off of Jansen in the bottom of the ninth inning, but the Dodgers won the game to even up the series. The Astros had two hits in the game; both were home runs. This was the first game in World Series history where both starting pitchers allowed four or fewer baserunners.[83]
After Game 4, both teams' pitching coaches, Rick Honeycutt for the Dodgers and Brent Strom for the Astros, commented on how the baseball being used for the World Series is slicker than the baseball used during the regular season. Pitchers on both teams noted that this difference has made it more difficult for them to throw their sliders.[84]
Two years after this game, when MLB sanctioned the Astros for sign stealing during the 2017 season, Alex Wood said he and Austin Barnes changed signs every ten pitches because the Dodgers had suspected the Astros of sign stealing. Wood later said that the team tried to get Clayton Kershaw, Game 5 starter, to follow the same method, but Kershaw did not think it was necessary and did not want to disrupt his routine.[85]
Kershaw and Keuchel started Game 5, in a rematch of the opening game of the series.[86] Forsythe singled in two runs off of Keuchel in the first inning to put the Dodgers up early. A third run scored on a throwing error by Gurriel. Barnes singled in the fourth to score Forsythe. Keuchel pitched 3+2⁄3 innings for the Astros, allowing five hits and four runs (three earned). The Astros scored their first run with an RBI double by Correa in the bottom of the fourth inning, followed by a three-run home run by Gurriel to tie the game. Bellinger hit a three-run home run off of Collin McHugh in the top of the fifth to put the Dodgers back on top only for Altuve to hit his own three-run home run in the bottom of the inning off Maeda to tie it back up. Kershaw pitched 4+2⁄3 innings and allowed six runs on four hits and three walks.
A triple by Bellinger on a line drive that Springer missed on a dive in the seventh inning off of Peacock scored Hernández from first base. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Springer hit a home run off the first pitch he saw off of Morrow, who was pitching for the third consecutive day, to tie the game. Bregman hit a broken-bat single and then scored on a double by Altuve to put the Astros ahead for the first time in the game. Altuve moved to third on a wild pitch, and then Correa hit a two-run home run to extend the lead. Seager doubled in a run in the top of the eighth inning, but McCann hit a home run in the bottom of the inning. That was the 21st home run of the series, tying the record set in the 2002 World Series. Puig broke the record with a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning. Down to their last strike, Chris Taylor drove in Barnes to tie the game with a single.[87] Dodger closer Kenley Jansen entered into the game in the bottom of the ninth and survived a two-out double to Gurriel and the game went into extra innings.
Astros pitcher Joe Musgrove pitched a scoreless top of the tenth inning before the Astros ended the game in the bottom half. McCann was hit by a pitch by Jansen to put him on base with two outs. Subsequently, Springer walked on five pitches to move McCann to second base. McCann was then replaced by pinch runnerDerek Fisher.[88]
On the next pitch, Bregman hit a walk-off single, scoring Fisher with the winning run.[89] The Astros became only the second team to come back twice from three runs down in a World Series game,[90] the other was the Toronto Blue Jays in the 15–14 win during Game 4 of the 1993 World Series. The six game-tying home runs in the series to this point is the most for any World Series on record.[91] This World Series set a new record for most players to hit a home run (14 to date in the World Series).[90] With the teams combining to score 25 runs throughout the game, this was the highest scoring World Series game since the Florida Marlins defeated the Cleveland Indians 14–11 in Game 3 of the 1997 World Series.[92] Game 5 lasted five hours and seventeen minutes, making it the second-longest World Series game in history by time.[93][94] It has been frequently cited as one of the greatest World Series games of all time.[95][96][97]
Game 6 featured the same starting pitchers as the second game: Verlander and Hill. Springer hit a home run off of Hill in the top of the third for the first run of the night.[98] It was Springer's fourth homer of the series, tied for third all-time in a single series and joining Gene Tenace, in 1972, as the only players with four game-tying or go-ahead home runs in a World Series.[99] Springer also joined Hank Bauer in the 1958 World Series and Barry Bonds in the 2002 World Series with four home runs in a series.[100] The Astros loaded the bases in the fifth inning, but did not score. Hill pitched 4+2⁄3 innings, struck out five and allowed four hits and one run.[98]
In the sixth inning, Taylor tied the game with an RBI double and Seager hit a sacrifice fly to give the Dodgers the lead.[101] Verlander pitched six innings with nine strikeouts and only three hits allowed. Pederson hit a home run in the bottom of the seventh inning and Jansen pitched two scoreless innings for the save, forcing a winner-take-all game seven.[102] Pederson tied a World Series record with his fifth consecutive game with an extra base hit. Andre Ethier, who appeared in the game as a pinch hitter, set a new Dodgers franchise record with his 50th career postseason game.[103]
Game 7
George Springer hit his fifth home run in Game 7, tying the World Series record.
November 1, 2017 5:21pm (PDT) at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, 69 °F (21 °C), partly cloudy
This was the first World Series Game 7 to be played at Dodger Stadium (and the first Game 7 of any postseason series at the stadium since the 1988 NLCS, and the Dodgers' first World Series Game 7 since 1965 against the Minnesota Twins).[104] It was also the first time since the 1931 World Series that a Game 7 occurred in a Series with both teams having won at least 100 games during the season.[105] Besides, this was the first time since the 2001 World Series and 2002 World Series that back-to-back Fall Classics had a Game 7.[106]
The starting pitchers for this game were the same as in the third game: McCullers and Darvish.[107] Springer doubled to open the game and scored the first run on an error by Bellinger, which allowed Bregman to reach second base. Bregman stole third base and scored on an Altuve groundout. McCann scored the next inning on a groundout by Astros pitcher McCullers. Springer hit a two-run home run, his fifth of the series, tying Reggie Jackson and Chase Utley for most home runs in a single World Series and setting a new record with 29 total bases in any postseason series. As in Game 3, Darvish lasted only 1+2⁄3 innings (tying the shortest outing of his career) and became the third pitcher with two starts of less than two innings in a World Series, and the first since Art Ditmar in the 1960 World Series. Morrow relieved Darvish and in the process became only the second pitcher to pitch in all seven games of a single World Series, joining Darold Knowles in the 1973 World Series. McCullers lasted only 21⁄3 innings himself; he allowed three hits and hit a World Series record four batters. This was the first Game 7 in World Series history where neither starting pitcher got past the third inning.[108]
The Dodgers failed to score a run and left eight men on base through five innings.[109]Andre Ethier hit a pinch-hit RBI single that scored Pederson in the sixth inning for the Dodgers' only run. They only had one hit in 13 chances with runners in scoring position in the game.[108] Kershaw pitched four scoreless innings of relief in the game, and in the process, he broke Orel Hershiser's Dodgers postseason record with his 33rd strikeout.[110] Morton pitched four innings of relief to earn the win, as Corey Seager grounded out to Jose Altuve, who threw to Yuli Gurriel to end the game, with the Astros winning their first championship in franchise history, and ending their 56-year drought.[108] Springer won the World Series MVP Award.[4] With the Astros' win, for the first time since 2002, when the Angels beat the Giants in seven games, a franchise won its first World Series title. It was also the first time since 1972 that an American League team won a World Series Game 7 on the road.
The Astros were the first team to beat the three wealthiest teams in the sport –– Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers -– in a single postseason.[111]
After Game 7, the trophy presentation, usually taking place in the locker room whenever the visiting team clinches the series, took place on the losing team's field for the first time ever before a small crowd of mostly Astros fans that remained as most Dodgers fans left the stadium. Correa proposed to his girlfriend, 2016 Miss Texas USA winner Daniella Rodríguez, on live television during a postgame interview conducted by Rosenthal. She accepted.[112]
More than a month later, a Sports Illustrated article revealed that the Astros had figured out how Darvish was tipping his pitches: "Darvish holds the ball at his side when he gets the sign from the catcher. Whether he re-grips or not as he brings the ball into his glove was the tip-off whether he was going to throw a slider/cutter or a fastball." This unnamed Astros player said the Astros had known about this going into Game 3 which they also won, but that they had an even better game plan for Game 7.[113] After this revelation, 14-year veteran Chase Utley watched the film and later reported to Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman that Darvish was not giving off any pitch-tipping cues.[114]
In September 2017, American Spirit Media removed the signals of their Fox affiliates from DirecTV and U-verse systems.[119] As a result, some DirecTV subscribers in portions of the Southeastern United States (as well as those in the Toledo market) were unable to watch the World Series. This dispute would eventually be resolved in January 2018.
ESPN Radio broadcast the series nationally in English, with Dan Shulman providing the play-by-play and Aaron Boone serving as color analyst. Tim Kurkjian and Buster Olney served as reporters for the network, while Marc Kestecher hosted the pre-game and post-game coverage along with analyst Chris Singleton. The ESPN Radio coverage was carried on affiliated stations throughout the United States and Canada, as well as online at ESPN.com and via the ESPN mobile app. Spanish-language coverage was provided by ESPN Deportes Radio, with Eduardo Ortega, Renato Bermúdez, José Francisco Rivera, and Orlando Hernández announcing.[136]
Since 2017, the Astros and Dodgers have consistently boasted the teams with among the most regular season wins in their respective leagues.[138] Every postseason from 2017 onwards has featured both teams, with the Astros leading in postseason wins since that time and the Dodgers coming in second. Furthermore, all but one World Series from 2017 through 2024 had also featured either the Astros or Dodgers, with both teams making four appearances each. The Astros have since won the 2022 World Series, while the Dodgers won in 2020 and 2024. There have been quite a few chances at a much anticipated re-match between the two clubs in the World Series, especially in the wake of the sign stealing scandal, but this has not occurred as of 2024.[139][140]
In 2020, ESPN writer Sam Miller ranked the series the 23rd best World Series of all-time (and the fifth best since 2000), noting the prowess of both teams and the intensity of all seven games, but also noting the sign stealing scandal has tainted the series, comparing it to the 1919 World Series.[141]
Records
The 2017 World Series broke many records, most of which still stands today:
The 25 combined home runs is a World Series record that was previously set in the 2002 World Series at 21 home runs. The Astros also hold the team record for 15 home runs in a single World Series. Both records still stand today.
Brandon Morrow's relief appearances in all seven games of the World Series tied a record with Darold Knowles as the most in World Series history. Coincidentally, Darold Knowles was the pitching coach at High-A Dunedin, the Toronto Blue Jays' Florida State League affiliate, during Morrow's tenure with the club.[142]
George Springer tied or claimed a number of individual records. His 5 home runs tied Chase Utley and Reggie Jackson for most in a single World Series. His total bases and extra-bases records still stand today with 29 and 8, respectively. In 2024, Freddie Freeman tied Springer with most consecutive home runs in a single World Series with 4.[143]
Dave Roberts surpassed Tony La Russa's pitching changes record with 32 in total. With pitching change rules that went in effect before the 2020 season (pitchers were now to face at mimimum three batters before a pitching change), this record will likely stay intact.[144]
Dodgers' rookie Cody Bellinger finished with 17 strikeouts establishing a new World Series and overall postseason record. The previous World Series record was tied with Javy Baez (2016) and Ryan Howard (2009) with 13 strikeouts.
Both Game 7 starters, Lance McCullers and Yu Darvish, combined to pitch four innings, which was the fewest combined innings pitched in a winner-take-all game in World Series history. Additionally, Darvish was the second pitcher ever to fail to complete a second inning in two or more starts within the same World Series. The other was Art Ditmar, who did not complete two innings for the Yankees in Games 1 and 5 of the 1960 World Series against the Pirates. Later, Tony Gonsolin would join this list in the 2020 World Series. For McCullers, his 4 hit batters in Game 7 shattered a record for the most HBPs by any pitcher in a World Series game. The only pitchers to hit multiple batters in a postseason game were Roger Clemens (1986 ALCS) and Orel Hershiser (1988 NLCS).[145]
The Astros earned $30,420,155.57 from postseason pool money to split among team personnel; each share was worth $438,901.57. The Dodgers received $20,280,103.72, with shares of $259,722.14[146] The sportsbooks in Nevada lost $11.4 million in November 2017, a record for baseball-related betting.[147]
The city of Houston held a parade for the Astros on November 3, 2017, which Mayor Sylvester Turner proclaimed was "Houston Astros' Day". Schools in Houston were closed for the day. An estimated 750,000 to one million attended the parade.[148] Springer and Altuve appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated's November 13, 2017, issue, with Altuve holding the Commissioner's Trophy and Springer holding a copy of a Sports Illustrated from 2014 that predicted the Astros would win the 2017 World Series.[149] The Astros' win has been seen as a morale boost for the city of Houston, which 9 weeks earlier had suffered tremendous damage due to Hurricane Harvey. According to Manny Fernandez and Paul Debenedetto of the New York Times, "Every city wants a World Series victory. Houston, post-Harvey, needed one."[150]
After the season, Yu Darvish became a free agent for the first time in his career, and he chose not to re-sign with the Dodgers, as there was much fan ire against him for his disappointing World Series outings that many felt had cost the Dodgers the title.[151] Darvish signed with the Cubs and continued to struggle with performance and injury in 2018 and early in the season in 2019, before returning to his pre-2017 World Series form for the second half of 2019 and the entire 2020 season. He was traded to the San Diego Padres, a division rival of the Dodgers, prior to the 2021 season.[152]
The Dodgers would return to the World Series in 2018, where they lost to the Boston Red Sox in five games to become the first team to lose the World Series in consecutive years since the 2010-2011 Texas Rangers. After losing in the 2019 National League Division Series against the Washington Nationals, the Dodgers would finally win their seventh championship in 2020 against the Tampa Bay Rays in the COVID-19 affected season. Though they remain one of baseball's most dominant teams, the Dodgers hit a postseason rut and did not return to the World Series for three seasons, losing the 2021 NLCS to the Braves, the 2022 NLDS to the Padres, and the 2023 NLDS in a sweep to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Every Dodger team from 2021 to 2023 won 100 games or more, but they won two combined playoff series from in those years, with the 111-win 2022 setting a dubious achievement for most regular season wins to not win even one postseason series. In 2024, they would find postseason success again and win the World Series over the New York Yankees in five games.
Outfielder Joc Pederson, who played for the Dodgers from 2014 to 2020, would win a World Series against the Astros with the Braves in 2021. Shortstop Corey Seager, a Texas Ranger by 2023, would also defeat the Astros in the ALCS that year, before winning a World Series.
Before the 2019 World Series, several Dodgers reached out to Washington Nationals second baseman Brian Dozier and pitcher Daniel Hudson, who had been with Los Angeles the previous year, to warn them that Houston was elaborately stealing signs.[153]
Commissioner Rob Manfred began an investigation into the Astros' sign stealing after Mike Fiers' allegations.
After the 2019 season, former Houston pitcher Mike Fiers alleged that the 2017 Astros used technology to illicitly steal their opponents' signs and relay it to their hitters. His claims were later confirmed by numerous citizen sleuths, who discovered that the Astros used this method throughout the 2017 season, and part of the 2018 season.[154] MLB and the Astros opened an investigation into this sign stealing allegation.[155] MLB found the Astros used technology to cheat during their 2017 season and suspended Hinch and Astros general managerJeff Luhnow for one season;[156] the Astros fired Luhnow and Hinch the same day. Alex Cora, who was the Astros' bench coach in 2017 and the Red Sox' manager from 2018 to 2019, parted ways with the Red Sox after the scandal broke.[157][158]Carlos Beltran, a member of the 2017 team who had recently been hired by the New York Mets, was also fired for his involvement in the cheating scandal before getting the chance to manage the team. Cora would eventually be re-hired back for the 2021 season in Boston, while Beltran would eventually join the Mets’ front office.[159] Furthermore, Hinch was named the Tigers' manager a few days after the conclusion of his season-long suspensions. Besides Beltran, no other Astros players were punished. On November 8, 2020, ex-Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow sued the Astros, alleging that Astros owner Jim Crane and Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred negotiated penalties for the sign-stealing scandal that enabled the team to paint Luhnow as “the scapegoat for the organization and fire its general manager in order to save more than $22 million in guaranteed salary.”[160] Luhnow would not return to baseball, instead becoming the owner of the soccer teams Cancún F.C. and CD Leganés.
Long time baseball writer Buster Olney said, "front-office staffers around baseball cannot remember a circumstance of such widespread and loud player-to-player condemnation."[161] Frustrated comments from players increased when spring training began in February. Many players criticized the Astros, especially after their press conference at the beginning of camp.[162] Many of the condemnations came from members of the Dodgers, whom the Astros defeated in the 2017 World Series, and the Yankees, whom the Astros defeated in the ALCS in both 2017 and 2019.[163] The Dodgers were the only team to release a statement the week the report was released, merely stating that they had been ordered by MLB not to comment on the punishments or "any wrongdoing during the 2017 World Series."[164]
On July 29, 2020, Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly was issued an eight-game suspension after throwing atAlex Bregman and Carlos Correa of the Houston Astros and inciting a benches-clearing incident after a strikeout of Correa.[165] This incident occurred on the first meeting between the Astros and Dodgers after the MLB completed their investigation. Kelly's pouting face as he mocked Correa complaining about the near hit by pitch became an internet meme.[166][167]
A Dodgers fan in Upland, California mocks the Astros' cheating scandal as a part of his Christmas decorations c. 2023
Before the start of the 2023 season, Red Sox manager Alex Cora, one of the alleged ring leaders in the sign-stealing scandal, personally apologized to 2017 Dodgers Kenley Jansen, Justin Turner, and Kiké Hernandez—all of whom were members of Cora's Red Sox by this time. "I just felt like I wanted to cry at that moment when he said that," Jansen told WEEI. "Because I felt like that was the best season I ever had in my whole career because I dominated the whole year, dominated the playoffs, and the Houston Astros were the only ones who put the ball in play. It’s over with, and you can’t change stuff, but what we can do is appreciate when someone steps up and comes forward and be accountable for what they did."[168]
