The Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal during the 2017 World Series continues to cast a long shadow over Major League Baseball. While the Astros have maintained their status as a top team, the controversy remains fresh for many, especially for players like Cody Bellinger.

Bellinger, a member of the 2017 Los Angeles Dodgers, expressed strong feelings about the situation, claiming the Astros 'stole' a championship and that Jose Altuve took an MVP award from Aaron Judge. Bellinger, now with the Chicago Cubs, has been linked to trade rumors involving the Astros, but his past comments may complicate any potential deal.
