My question for you is why are you so sure that they were involved? Just because they were part of the Astros organization is not a good enough reason.
Just thinking of this in a standard business organizational sense, it really doesn’t make sense for Elias to be directly involved in an analytics based scheme that affected the major league club. His department, as I understand it, was with minor league scouting, player development and the draft. Why would he cross departments to have a say in something that affects the major league/analytics department? What kind of involvement do you think he would even have had?
Since codebreaker itself wasn’t illegal, it really seems like the only kind of involvement that could be punishable would be if either Elias or Sig were the ones who suggested or implemented its real-time use in games. I see that as being extremely unlikely in Elias’ case. Since Sig was the head of the analytics department there, he’s much more likely to be implicated, but again I think the only way he’d get into trouble over it is if there’s proof that he was the one who suggested or helped implement its use in real time in major league games.
