Chris Correa, who admitted to hacking the Astros database during his tenure as the Cardinals scouting director, has been sentenced.
Correa pleaded guilty to five counts of unauthorized access to a protected computer and accepted a plea deal.
As part of his plea, Correa admitted to using the accounts of three Astros employees to view scouting reports, amateur player evaluations, notes on trade discussions and proposed bonuses for draft picks. The information he accessed was given an estimated value of $1.7 million by the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Correa also admitted taking measures to conceal his identity.
The sentence includes two years of supervised release and restitution payments of $279,038.65.
The case doesn’t end here though. Commissioner Rob Manfred could punish the Cardinals with fines, limit their draft spending, and/or confiscation of draft picks.
