This is a much bigger deal that Spygate, Deflategate, etc., if it were true.
Actual real-world felonies, actual cyber intrusions, actual people going to prison for those crimes being a distinct possibility.
Aside from that, you have potentially priceless information being stolen about player personnel, trade discussions etc etc.
Outside of actually throwing games, this would be as bad as it gets. Steroids are bad, but that's an individual crime by one player. This could be the biggest scandal since 1919. It's hard to think of any examples of cheating on this level in baseball
Anyone involved should be banned for life.
