    The report makes it sound like Cora was the mastermind. If so, it's not a stretch to think the Red Sox had the exact same system set up, they were just better at hiding it.

    Sawks will get it worse because Alex Cora was and is now in the organizations that are and were being investigated.

    selig was a lap dog for the owners and manfred is a selig crony
    could and should have wielded his power...
    • players, coaches, gm's, others found guilty banned for life
    • astros 2017 title stripped, no 2017 champion
    • astros banned from postseason play for 5 years
    said it before... what these people did was just as bad a what pete rose or the black sox did
    lifetime bans might seem severe, but imo let the punishment fit the crimes

    What the fuck is complicated about too many players involved. Suspend them all and fuck the consequences just like with the Black Sox.

    what's really infuriating is that we still almost beat the astros
    roberts and friedman should be banned for allowing darvish to pitch game 7

    As soon as the 2020 WS is over AJ Hinch will be hired by somebody. Luhnow sounds like is universally disliked so he's fucked and deservedly so.

    Yankees went 3-0 at home vs the Asterisks, 0-4 on the road......I wonder why?

    Should've been a Dodgers-Yankees WS that I think we win.

    Oh no you started something lol. Re-hashed that shit to death but I get it. In Yu's defense the Stros did capture him tipping pitches.

    In all honesty, this scandal probably cost Yu Darvish $20 million dollars. Imagine if he shuts down the Astros in Game 3, he becomes a postseason stud for us, and gets a bigger contract afterwards.

    fruit of the poisonous tree
    anything the astros did during that time has to be considered highly suspect/shady imo

    The soldiers rarely get punished but the commanders that's another story. Impractical to think you can suspend an entire team but I get the frustration.

    Yeah, I don't get this argument at all, it's a cop out. How beautiful would it be, and what kind of message would it send, to have 15-20 guys suspended on one team all at the same time? Add in a postseason suspension too, and 2020 basically becomes a lost cause for their org. Their 40-man roster gets fucked while trying to replace them, and they will no doubt have to DFA players at some point. It's a clusterfuck to deal with for sure, but that would be a real punishment for the organization. Instead, watch those shithead players get the biggest standing O's they've ever had at MMP, like some kind of victims.

    I think Manfred just didn't want to deal with the MLBPA, that's the crux of this bullshit.

    If the entire team cheated, the entire team should be suspended. It's not complicated.

    Union affords them protection not the Mgr or GM. How do you prove they had knowledge and how long would the hearings take etc.

    EDIT: Manfred wrote a memo in 2017 saying the GM and Mgr will be punished so they made their bed.

    Logan Morrison posted somewhere that he says he knows for a fact that the Yankees, Dodgers, RedSox, and Astros all used video to steal signs.

    It's a good analogy if the stakes were similar.
    This is not about morality like in the military.
    This is simply corruption.
    And we can handle the truth about the sausage shop that is MLB.
