The council voted unanimously to ask MLB to award the titles to the Dodgers in the wake of baseball's sign-stealing scandal.

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost the 2017 and 2018 World Series to the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox, the two teams at the heart of MLB’s electronic sign-stealing scandal.

Councilmen Gil Cedillo and Paul Koretz co-sponsored the resolution after MLB made public the results of sign-stealing investigation of the Astros on Jan. 13. The investigation found that the Astros used technology and trash cans to illegally steal opposing catchers’ signals and relay what pitch was arriving to Houston batters.

MLB is in the midst of investigating the Red Sox over illegal sign-stealing allegations during the 2018 season.

L.A. City Council asks MLB to name Dodgers world champs amid sign-stealing scandalLos Angeles City Council has asked Major League Baseball to award the Dodgers the 2017 and 2018 World Series titles in the wake of the sign-stealing scandal currently rocking the sport. A city council...wow they have so much power... Glad the council is focusing on the big important issues. The homeless on the streets of LA will be ecstatic for this resolution. Will never happen. If anything happens at best the WS Titles will be vacated but not awarded to LA.

LA City Council uges MLB to award 2017, 2018 World Series titles to Dodgers over sign-stealing scandalThe Los Angeles City Council passed a resolution on Tuesday urging Major League Baseball to revoke the World Series titles from the Boston Red Sox and the Houston Astros and reward them to the LA Dodgers instead. 😂😂😂😂😂 And I'm sure the Dodgers are totally being this resolution. Because everyone knows that the best rewards are the ones you get handed to you when you don't deserve them. Yes! They cheated so their championship should be removed and given the Dodgers. With so many kids playing baseball and watching it would send a positive messge. Both years to have it stolen is just horrible.

Los Angeles councilmen to request MLB award World Series titles to Dodgers following Astros sign-stealing scandalOfficials in Los Angeles believe they have found a way to rectify the World Series titles they feel they were cheated out of during the sign-stealing scandal surrounding the Houston Astros. I know it’s unfair they lost to the Astros who cheated, but it would also be unfair to all the teams that actually won the World Series fairly if you awarded the championship to the Dodgers. I’m sure MLB will do that right after getting Mike Greenwell an MVP award. I live in Houston. They should replay the game in LA and give the Dodgers the cameras.......then award the the trophy to the Dodgers no matter the outcome. (I had to return a stolen chewed up piece of gum when I was little. It works. Never took anything ever again.)
