Alex Rodriguez roasted the Houston Astros: "I think the one thing that has really upset the fans is you cheat, you win a championship, there is no suspension" 

New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez called out the Houston Astros for their alleged lack of regret following the 2017 revelation of their cheating. In 2020, A-Rod, while commentating on a spring training game between the Boston Red Sox and the Yankees, spoke on the Astros players' lack of discipline after they were discovered using a camera to take pitching signs during their season that culminated with a World Series victory.

“I think the one thing that has really upset the fans is you cheat, you win a championship, there is no suspension. And then there’s no remorse.”

Many baseball fans believed the Astros would give up their 2017 championship after the cheating controversy became public.

“The last one I think is probably the worst one because people want to see remorse,” Rodriguez said during the broadcast.

“They want a real, authentic apology. And they have not received that thus far” – A-Rod added.

Recalling his 2013 drug scandal, Rodriguez said that he had made the biggest mistake.

A-Rod served the longest suspension in Major League Baseball history over PED usage, which was for 162 games and the entire 2014 season.

“From a guy who has made as many mistakes as anybody on the biggest stage — I served the longest suspension in Major League Baseball history, it cost me well over $35 million, and you know what? I deserved that. And as a result, I came back.”

“I owned it after acting like a buffoon for a long time,” he added.
