The Astros fired assistant general manager Brandon Taubman on Thursday afternoon and issued an apology to a Sports Illustrated reporter whom they falsely accused of fabricating a story about his clubhouse tirade.

The 34-year-old Taubman yelled Thank God we got (Roberto) Osuna! Im so (expletive) glad we got Osuna!

Osuna, the Astros closer, was acquired last July while serving a 75-game suspension for a violation of Major League Baseballs Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse policy.

One of the women at whom Taubman shouted was wearing a purple domestic violence awareness bracelet

When Sports Illustrateds story first published on Monday one for which the Astros initially declined comment the club issued a defiant denial that claimed reporter Stephanie Apstein attempted to fabricate a story where one does not exist.

We were wrong, the Astros said in their Thursday statement that terminated Taubman.


well, no shit dum dums.

glad you cucks went down 0-2 in the WS

GET FUCKED!

I was pretty neutral on who won the World Series (as long as it wasnt the Yankees) but this whole thing has put me firmly onto the nats bandwagon

At least they fired him

Luhnow has always been one of those wins above everything else guys

He had to be talked down from drafting Luke Heimlich, a college pitcher who pleaded guilty to molesting his niece

this idiot GM is going to be the next one fired. xD

That's where this gets interesting. Luhnow was just extended and he turned the Astros from bottom dwellers into one of the best teams in baseball in a few years. He's a very important structural figure to the Astros

Eh, if they get swept in the WS (after struggling against the Yankees and letting the fucking Rays force game 5) he probably wouldn't be too safe.

disagree
if they come up short and are labeled failures, it won't be because he didn't assemble talent on the team

How can their takeaway be to fire the dude shouting that they acquired a domestic abuser as a player and not to get rid of the player.

In what universe (I know, the monetary one) does that make even the slightest bit of sense and isnt just incredibly gross?

Stephanie Apstein met with Jeff Luhnow in the dugout just now. She asked for a retraction to the teams first statement suggesting she fabricated her story. He didnt commit to issuing one.
