Waiting to see what the redsox will get
Sounds like Cora will get at least what Hinch got if not more.
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Manfred is treating this like one small step below the Black Sox
Wouldn't go that far. Long gap between a year and life.

I understand and agree with not punishing players for using a system management instituted. But when the report clearly says Beltran was the one who set it up for Cora, why is he not being punished?

Not sure you are right. There is no way either of them have a job for at least a couple of years if not longer

That's not the same as getting banned for a few years.

This story puts the "Yu Darvish was tipping his pitches" theory into a whole context. The Astros obviously knew what Darvish was throwing regardless if he was tipping.

Pretty sure this take is #FakeNews. Game 7 was in LA and Hou only did this stuff at home (AFAIK)

Good point. As far as we know they only had this advantage at home. Though I wouldn’t rule out anything as to what they might do for game 7 of the World Series on the road.

Good article here expressing LA frustration.

Fitting that Minute Maid Park opened as Enron Field.
