I still haven't had time to really dive into the findings or anything, but I wonder if the fact that the manager tried to stop it from time to time? So he wasn't really involved? If this were the NCAA, the rings would be gone. But it's not easy to take away a chompionship in the pros. Perhaps if they had video evidence of the cheating they'd be able to? Dale Murphy said yesterday that he thinks the punishment will deter future cheating efforts. I disagree; if you can cheat, get a ring, and get to keep it even if you are fired from your job or kicked out of the MLB for life, I could see plenty of people thinking that was worth it. I think the Astros firings were the right thing to do, and I expect MLB will hand down some heavier punishments to Cora. I was surprised Beltran seems to be getting away with it, doe.
