SFGiants58 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 The only thing that could make it worse would be learning that the Astros tried to sign Felipe Vazquez. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Sox should try & save face by firing him (or convincing him to resign), but they won’t. All part of the setup needed for Bobby Valentine to make his long awaited return as the rightful manager of the Red Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Manfred: Quote “I base this finding on the fact that the club’s senior baseball operations executives were given express notice in September 2017 that I would hold them accountable for violations of our policies covering sign stealing, and those individuals took no action to ensure that the club’s players and staff complied with those policies during the 2017 postseason and the 2018 regular season." So you are also complicit in this huh, Rob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should've just said Hinch was supporting his players during a difficult time. Things sure have changed.

Yeah I believe that's how it works with players as well. So these guys should get the same treatment. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s effectively a lifetime ban. Nobody is going to hire either one knowing they have to sit out a full year before taking over. Both can appeal later, but it’s going to be at least two years before either can even think of coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Hinch getting hired by some terrible team, and everyone having endless redemption arc narratives circa 2023 or so. Can't see anyone giving Luhnow a meaningful job again, now that's baseball's Wolf of Wall Street.

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Cora may possibly lose his job as there's a report that Boston stole signs en route to the 2018 World Series title. As he was apart of this 2017 Astros' coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Boston has fired him already. The only reason MLB hasn't announced anything with for Cora yet is because he is still under investigation. There's no chance his punishment isn't at least on par with what Hinch received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins93 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 This is only a slap on the wrist for everyone involved. How disappointing. I guess Manfred can go back to trying to shave off another 17 seconds off each game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I don’t get how this is a slap on the wrist. What more would you want them to do? 2 people have essentially been banned for life possibly, another probably on the way, 4 high draft picks are being stripped and they got fined the max a team can be fined.
