Clayton Kershaw Comments on Astros Lack of Remorse for Sign-Stealing Scandal at Justin Turner Golf Outing
By Michael Luciano
The Los Angeles Dodgers are still seething with rage after the revelation that the Houston Astros stole signs during their 2017 championship run, which included a win over the Dodgers in the World Series.
Ace Clayton Kershaw, speaking at a charity golf event, took the Astros to task over what seems like a lack of accountability and remorse over the whole scandal, pointing the finger at players who have yet to utter any apologetic words.
Clayton Kershaw, at the Justin Turner Foundation’s annual golf event, on the #Astros’ illegal sign-stealing: “It is a little bit interesting that the Astros players haven’t said sorry or meant it or anything like that. Not a whole lot of remorse.” #Dodgers

The likes of Alex Bregman and Justin Verlander have been afforded opportunities to apologize, and, respectively, they've given coy PR statements that are the MLB equivalent to pleading the fifth. Verlander even made a snide joke about the whole fiasco.
Dodgers fans seem to share Kershaw's discontent for the team that kept them from a championship in 2017. The diehards are even planning on making the journey to Anaheim to let the Astros hear it in their opener against the Angels.

The Dodgers, despite reportedly being told expressly by the league to stay radio silent on the whole affair, aren't done sharpening their pitchforks. It's a shame that they don't play each other this season, because the resulting chaos would have been must-see TV.
