Cards fired their scouting director over the hacking situation:
Cardinals fire scouting director : Sports
Quote:
The St. Louis Cardinals have terminated the services of their scouting director, Chris Correa, after an “imposed leave of absence,” a lawyer for Cardinals executives said Thursday.
Correa has admitted hacking into a Houston Astros database but said it was only to verify that the Astros had stolen proprietary data, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
Correa did not leak any Astros data, and is not responsible for additional hacks that the FBI has alleged occurred or leaking any data, said the source.
In 2009, Correa left a Ph.D. program at the University of Michigan to work on a contract basis with Jeff Luhnow, who was director of amateur scouting and farm director. He later joined the front office full-time and was promoted to manager of baseball development in 2012.
