ST. LOUIS, June 16 (UPI) -- The St. Louis Cardinals, one of the most successful teams in Major League Baseball (MLB), is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department for hacking into the internal network of the Houston Astros to "steal closely guarded information about player personnel," The New York Times reported.
Investigators say the team-built databases that were hacked housed discussions on trades, proprietary statistics and scouting reports. Subpoenas have been served on the Cardinals and MLB for "electronic correspondence," according to the Times.
