The St. Louis Cardinals are being investigated by the FBI for allegedly hacking into networks and trying to steal information about the Houston Astros.

Major League Baseball, the Cardinals and Astros all issued statements Tuesday saying they have cooperated fully with the investigation, which started last year after some information was posted anonymously online. The Astros and Cardinals said they would not comment further, as it's an ongoing federal investigation.

According to ESPN legal analyst Roger Cossack, the federal investigation is close to a conclusion.

The Times reported Tuesday that the FBI and Justice Department officials have evidence that Cardinals officials -- who were not identified -- allegedly tapped into the Astros' database and had access to statistics, scouting reports and internal discussions about players, trades and other proprietary information.

Next thing you know the Yankees will be investigated for deflating baseballs. Kinda makes you wonder why the Cardinals are in 1st place at the moment huh?

Well it does me.
