Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says if he could do it over again, he may not have granted immunity to Houston Astros players while investigating the team's sign-stealing scandal in 2020. Manfred oversaw Major League Baseball's investigation that confirmed the Astros stole signs with banned electronics en route to a 2017 World Series title. Astros players were granted immunity during the probe, a decision that peeved players and fans alike when MLB's report and discipline were issued in January 2020. During an interview with Time magazine published Wednesday, Manfred said it was "maybe not my best decision ever."
