St. Louis Cardinals chairman and CEO William O. Dewitt Jr. and general manager John Mozeliak have issued statements on the hacking scandal that came to light on Tuesday.

"These are serious allegations that don't reflect who we are as an organization," DeWitt said. "We are committed to getting to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible, and if anyone within our organization is determined to be involved in anything inappropriate, they will be held accountable."

The Cardinals are working with a local law firm in order to assist the FBI with the investigation. The team is also conducting an internal inquiry into whether any employee "engaged in the alleged conduct" related to the Houston Astros.

"The alleged conduct has no place in our game," Mozeliak said. "We hold ourselves to the highest standards in every facet of our organization.  It has been that way forever and is certainly true today.  We are committed to finding out what happened.  To the extent we can substantiate that these allegations have merit, we will take appropriate action against anyone involved."
