Yet the owner gets off with a golf slap on the wrist. firing these two was a good move. problem is that the owner benefits from their cheating as if he NEVER got word about how this was happening. how much did the astros franchise value increase from this post season success? a few hundred million?They both just got fired.
How about a postseason ban for 5-10 years. No chance for any postseason no matter if they go 162-0. Figure out what the ad revenue they made during this postseason run and 10x as part of the fine.Put me in the group that thinks the punishment wasn't severe enough, there really isn't an amount you can fine a billionaire and have it matter, what MLB should have done is take away their top two draft picks for at least the next 5-7 years, that's where it would hurt them the most. If you ask the Yankees or Dodgers would they accept the punishment that the Astros got in exchange for winning a WS, I think the answer would be yes

the post season ban might not hurt right away but when they have to resign their studs how many are going to play with no chance of a ring. the team could return to the 60 win team in no time as players leave and free agents cross houston off their destination list.
This is far more severe than anything that pete rose did.
Red Sox are rumored to get extreme penalties/trouble too. Especially Alex Cora.
Cora...lifetime ban?Cora's Toast.
Took his World Series Championship SIGN STEALING TALENTS From Houston To Beantown, and got the same results.
Both RING Years.

You're a Sox fan, if stealing signs helped them win the WS. and they end up getting the same penalties as MLB levied on the Astros, would you think it was worth it?

baseball is a game about who can cheat the most, always has been. Greg Maddux was given a 7 foot wide strike zone, every domincan last 50 yrs lie about age or on juice. No shortstop touched 2nd base on a double play from 1970-2000, sign stealing is taught adolescence so no surprise they do it wih video. MLB cheats the game with juicing ball, look other way on sosa and mcgiwre. The game always has been and always will be a big scam.[/
Baseball is America’s past time....Billy Martin always said if you are not cheating, you aren’t trying....

Alex Cora could be suspended ‘far longer’ than AJ Hinch in sign-stealing scandal

Last year at this time it was great to be Alex Cora. B2B WS Titles including the most recent one as a manager
NOW.......................Sucks to be Cora. He will get more than one-year. I said 2 but it might be more than that. I don't see how he keeps his job knowing this
I would say it doesn't suck to be Cora. He CHOSE this path. Whatever punishment he gets likely isn't strong enough.
Manfred wanted to send a Message.
I Think it Got Through.
this has to be with a buyout of some type. if not and I was cora i would have forced boston to fire me as i'm sure there is a certain percent he gets.They just agreed to "part ways". You can't make this stuff up.
