Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is the latest player to sound off on the Astros sign-stealing scandal.
On Wednesday, Stanton said he "probably would have hit 80-plus home runs" in 2017 if he "knew what was coming".
Stanton also insisted that Astros owner Jim Crane knew about the cheating scheme, and agreed with teammate Aaron Judge that MLB should have handed down punishments for Astros players, rather than just the manager and GM.
