SOUNDBITE (English): Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner

"There is an ongoing investigation with respect to an unauthorised entry into Houston's system. To assume that that investigation is going to produce a particular result with respect to the Cardinals, let alone to jump to the use of a word like cyber attack, I just think it, we don't know that those are the facts yet. There is an ongoing investigation. We've been fully cooperative. Obviously any allegation like this, no matter how serious it turns out to be, is of great concern to us. But it's just too early to speculate on what the facts are going to turn out to be and what actions, if any, is necessary."

SOUNDBITE (English): Mike Matheny, St Louis Cardinals Manager:

"I got pulled out the weight room this morning and was informed that there was a story. So, they're paying attention because they're coming up and giving me the details that they have, which is all news to me. But where we are right now is, we don't know more than anybody else and just kind of waiting to hear. We heard from the front office that this is something that's going to be addressed soon and then we'll be up to speed. But right now, we just go about our business and realize that it's something that's being dealt with."
