Ex-Astros pitcher Ken Giles says he’s absolutely devastated by Houston’s sign-stealing scandal … and despite having no idea his teammates were cheating, he’s willing to return his World Series ring.
Giles — now a member of the Toronto Blue Jays — revealed his feelings over the bombshell scandal, saying he was hurt to find out through the commissioner’s report.
“It crushed me to learn about the stuff that went on when I was there,” Giles said via the Toronto Sun.
“I had no idea. I had no clue whatsoever. I was blindsided by the commissioner’s report. Up until then, I honestly didn’t believe it. Just crazy.”
Of course, bullpen pitchers rarely make it to the dugout with the other players … so the findings of the investigation floored Giles.
There have been players and fans calling for the ‘Stros to relinquish the 2017 World Series title … and Giles says he’s willing to give up his championship ring.
“Whatever they ask, I would oblige. Because what was going on at the time was not OK.”
“It just hurts. If they want it back, I’ll be true to whatever needs to be done.”
