Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said Wednesday there were no plans to strip the Houston Astros of their 2017 World Series crown following the sign stealing scandal that has rocked the sport. In his first interview since the publication of his report into the scandal last week, Manfred told Fox Business Network the league preferred to let fans judge for themselves how to view the Astros scandal-tainted title. Major League Baseball has faced repeated calls to void the result of the 2017 World Series, when the Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games, over the sign stealing furore.
