Todd Frazier's Take on Astros Sign-Stealing Scandal and How It's Impacted His Career is Heartbreaking
The Houston Astros took down the New York Yankees in seven games back in the 2017 ALCS. Of course, the legitimacy of that series victory is now in question thanks to Houston's sign-stealing techniques.
Todd Frazier was a member of that Yankees team and recently offered up a heartbreaking take about what could have been if the Astros didn't cheat.

Frazier starts to go into how 2017 could have been his chance at a World Series before quickly changing topics.
The veteran third baseman had his best chance to win it all in 2017 when he was traded to the Yankees before the trade deadline. Now he is just one of many MLB players wondering what could have been if the Astros played fair and didn't have the extra advantage at home.

The Astros did more than just cheat. They cheated others out of potential World Series memories and Frazier is just one of the many players impacted.
