Astros Players Cheated. Baseball Wanted Answers. So They Made a Deal.

Manfred justified that decision by saying it would have been “difficult and impractical” to punish players, given that virtually all of them had knowledge of or were involved in the operation to use technology to illicitly obtain and relay opposing catchers’ signals.

But there is a simpler explanation for why no players were penalized: The league and the MLB Players Association struck an agreement early in the process that granted immunity in exchange for honest testimony, according to several people familiar with the matter.

The deal is a sign of MLB’s desire for a speedy and conflict-free investigation, the continuing power of the baseball players’ union and the fragile state of the sport’s labor relations. The promise of amnesty allowed the league to interview 23 current and former Astros players during the two-month investigation.

Manfred, you loser.

Here we'll give you amnesty if you rat out your manager (aka no one will care about) and you all get to keep your cooshy job's and paychecks that were enhanced by your discretions and we'll hope this all goes away.

This World is so wrong. My parents educated me to never lie. To be good human. Treat everyone like you want them to treat you. Now with 38 years in this world i don´t believe any of this believes that my parents gave me on my way.

This world is all about looking for your own right. Search for Money, Force, Influence and you need to go over dead bodies to accomplish your goals.

If i would ever start my life new, i would do anything different than i have done it in my life.

Cheaters, Rapist, Murder and other always win in our World.

I hate this World!

just my two cents!

sadly, people imitate what they see on tv, in the movies and are influenced by idiots posing as smart people on the news. not all people, but enough to be concerning.

Obviously this isn’t what you meant. but I’d take $430M to hit balls and shut my mouth.

I’d take $430M for someone to hit my balls and shut my mouth for me.

Oops...

Phillies warned about binoculars – The Denver Post

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Middleton is probably pumped.

Middleton is probably pumped.

Time to draft more 1st rounders outside the top 100 and not get anyone of note using international money.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Come on down.

Luckily from what I understand, they're just fashion hats.

There's a cheesesteak on the back of the Phillies hat too.

It's better than the Cowboys Phillies hat.

 

[renberg]

Come on down.

I’m sure that he’s going to be quite excited to be in Wrigleyville this season. /s The Cubs have jacked him around position wise on the field and messed with his contract as well. I can’t see any way that he’s going to extend with them.

 

[SnS]

I want Bryant here.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He’ll cost a lot more after the case.

His batted ball data was underwhelming last year.

 

[baudib1]

larry walker's home away splits are quite dramatic. 200 ops difference? that has to be the highest among any hof.

Speaking of home away splits, looking at Aaron judge one must think
the yankees play in coors field east or there are some trashcans getting beat.

Without looking I'm guessing Chuck Klein's were in that range. They are actually very similar players. Walker was a legit player before going to Colorado though.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Also, can we talk about the fact that the Philadelphia Phillies in the year 2020 were looking into Pablo Sandoval?

 

[FLYguy3911]

On a Minor League deal? What’s wrong with that?

He hit really well last year.

I didn't know it was a minor league deal.

 

[FLYguy3911]

That’s all they can really do unless they are willing to go over the luxury tax. Sign a bunch of veterans to minor league deals and see what happens in Spring Training. 26 man rosters this year so likely an extra bat they can carry as an NL team.

 

[trostol]

does Klentak have an actual plan? or is he making things up as he goes

 

[FLYguy3911]

Mookie on the Dodgers won’t be fair.
