Beltran only named once in the report since he is no longer a player. Does not say ringleader anywhere in the report.
OT: Boom! Hammer drops on Astros.

- Start date
Definitely, the MLBPA needs to be on board. Perhaps Manfred just takes a pass on players, who knows. It was wise and justified to bring the hammer down on the coaches and franchise first.
Met fan and I was never real happy with the Beltran hire (I was in a box seat 100ft from Carlos taking the called third strike and right or wrong, I will never forgive him). Having said that, I could not care less about his involvement in this scandal. It does not make him any less a candidate for Manager to my mind and I don't think even if the press feigns outrage it will change the number of wins or butts in seats. Now, if you could make a credible case that MLB might punish the Mets in some material way, either directly or indirectly, then I would agree that Beltran must go.
Look at his stats home and away. You will rethink his "great hitter" status.
Not sufficient punishment, IMHO. The one-year suspensions aren't enough.The explanation for no punishment of players (even the players who took the initiative) probably is that players cooperated in return for promises they would not be punished.
2 known offenses makes a 2 year suspension sound about right.
There is a lot of dumb in this thread and it's all from Yankees fans so it's not a surprise.
Cora is going to get at least what Hinch got. He created the scheme with the Astros and brought it to Boston.
Cora? Read the report. Manfred blames Cora much more than Hinch and Hinch got a year. Cora's punishment will be worse.
+1
As a coach, Cora did this crap with 2 teams and ignored the commissioner twice.
He was a player at the time. He was part of the Union at the time. Not going to hapoen
That's probably the right explanation for why the players got off. The team should have been stripped of the 2017 world series championship. They won because they cheated. The last thing sports needs to do is to reward cheating.
No he wasn’t. He was a coach with the Astros.
I think it should have been more. The international signing money is very important to a lot of teams, they should have taken that also.
Bench coach with Houston. Also, Cora was a manager with the Red Sox and was caught doing the same thing after the commissioner's warning. He is toast.
Logan Morrison implicated the Yankees and Dodgers as other teams stealing signs today. This has been long rumored so MLB needs to look into them as well. You’re absolutely clueless if you think the Astros were the only team doing this.
I’m a huge Yankees fan, but do you really think they’re 100% clean here?
Yes, the Yanks are 100% clean with ever using electronic surveillance equipment to steal signs and do so after teams were directly warned by the commissioner.

In the game that broke 1951 cheating Giants 16 game winning streak,they called every pitch thrown by the Cardinals' Howie Pollett,but he still threw a three hit shutout.[/QUOTE]
I remember people saying that about Mark McGuire before the steroid scandal broke into the open.
