The first one.

I’m a little surprised that no players will be disciplined. What- these batters heard trash cans banging and other code, and just assumed it was all legal intel? Cora and Beltran are at least as guilty as Hinch and Luhnow.
His punishment is managing the Mets.

They just took Bagwell out of the hall of fame and decreed that the Astros have to wear their 1976 Uniforms all season. Manfred is out of control!
No.

Those shirts were fucking awesome.

I also like shrooms.

Curious to others opinion. Which was worse this in game cheating or illegally signing international players? The reason is the later got John Coppolella a lifetime ban and wonder if they deserved the same?
They do. Cora too. Bigly.

I forgot about Cora, yes he deserves it.

I hate to be redundant, but Cora single-handedly denied the Dodgers a World Series championship two years in a row. They should make him honorary American League World Series manager for life and a plaque for meritorious service.

The Yankees are the victims here!

Eliminated by both the cheating '17 Astros and the cheating '18 Red Sox.

which led them to trade for Mike Stanton and James Paxton

Bagwell shouldn't have been in the HOF until Bonds and Clemens are.

Will there be one of these?

There needs to be...

A really big one.


In addition to the fines, suspensions, firings, and draft pick forfeitures, the teams involved in the investigation and subsequent punishments should also be mandated to use that large asterisk as their emblems on their baseball caps for 5 yrs instead of their current logos.

At least Bagwell was never caught red-handed with roids. Those other two are insanely guilty.

Sure, but there's no doubt in my mind that he partook. Now that they've opened the door, even the guys that were busted should be put in.

Nah, they should be drummed out. Guys like A-Rod were completely unapologetic and belong to be mentioned with pro wrestlers like Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, not with guys who played the game honestly.

I suspect you'll get your wish though. When the old guard of baseball writers retires, the newer guys seem pretty willing to allow all manner of cheaters in. Bonds'll probably get a whole wing at Cooperstown devoted to his swollen fat head.

LOL. You can say what you want but the dodgers and the Yankees will be known as the winners of those seasons and the Astricks have seen the beginning of the Nolan Ryan curse.
