need to strip their title at the very least.
and they need to investigate the entire league and find out who cheated. it's simple. firing these two is the bare minimum
manfred is not a good commish at all. more worried about optics than actually dishing out appropriate punishment.

MLB's front office doesn't want to deal with the Players' Union I'd imagine. They'd come raining down hard on that shit.
And the Dodgers. And the Yankees. And the...
It's well known to be a systemic issue. I suspect the Astros in particular drew scrutiny because we went from losing 100+ games a season to a World Series win.
The main difference is what most of the other teams were doing is just a more efficient way of doing what has always been done with sign stealing. Point being it can be beaten by the other team changing their signs if they think they've been compromised when there are people on base.
With the Astros system the opponent was not even aware that there was potential for their sign being stolen and relayed because it was with nobody on base and utilizing signaling from people not on the field.
The Astros drew scrutiny because Mike Fiers went on the record. It's really as simple as that.
something something fired is good enough a punishment something something
He signed one of my manga and wrote his name in Japanese in the book so I approve of this

Beat me while I was typing it up. Would not be surprised to see them get buzzed by a few pitchers this season.
It's apparently not actually his niece. But Trevor Bauer retweeted Jomboy's retweet, saying he has heard about this from multiple people.
Man, as a Houstonian it's all just depressing and heartbreaking.
This is where it gets even crazier. Gary Sheffield Jr is the son of former Yankees player Gary Sheffield. So if this is true. This is gonna be amazing.
As someone who lives in houstom but is not a native houstonian this shit is horrible and depressing. The astros were such a relief after the chaos of harvey and now its completely tainted. They should definitely sttip the title.
Players need to be punished for all of this
