Cardinals Face F.B.I. Inquiry in Hacking of Astros’ Network

Really interested to see how Bud Selig responds to this. Looks like this is the same guy (Luhnow) who SI did a pretty good thing last year about, reference how the Astros were doing a Ctrl+Alt+Dlt[1].

The cynical side of me says that Selig and MLB will try to maybe milk this for some rating or something, considering the meme going around that baseball is dying.

(full disclosure, Twins fan here, so I'm gonna be cynical about anything that Selig does)

Edit: Guess I missed that Selig retired in January. Damn you, work!

Selig retired in January. Rob Manfred is the commissioner now.

Yeah haha, no one really liked Selig. Manfred has been solid so far though. I personally am a fan.

Just FYI, Selig is no longer the commissioner.
