It’s already been close to five years since the Houston Astros scandal in the 2017 season. But even now, no one has forgiven them for their dirty work in the games. And why would anyone forgive them? Because they still take pride in their championship win in the 2017 season.

However, recently former Astros player has opened up about the 2017 scandal and admitted his mistake. Nearly after five years of the incident, the 44-years-old MLB veteran explained his role in the Astros’ 2017 scandal.

Notably, the same year, the Houston Astros went on to win the World Series. And many people still believe that their sign-stealing scandal helped them win the title. While till date, not a single Astros player has taken responsibility for their participation in the 2017 scandal.

Further, Beltran also accepted that their 2017 World Series title is tainted, as it was not fair to other teams. “What we did, and we all have taken responsibility. And at some point, we all have shown remorse about what we did,” added Beltran.

After so many years, Beltran is the first-ever Astros player to accept his fault. Because, even after MLB’s investigation, neither the Houston Astros nor their players apologized for that scandal.
