BROOKLYN JET Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 *Caught Cheating https://theathletic.com/1766135/2020/04/22/mlb-report-pins-red-sox-violations-on-staffer-issues-suspension-takes-draft-pick/ MLB report pins Red Sox violations on staffer, issues suspension, takes draft pick By Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich 37m ago 68 Major League Baseball’s ruling on the Boston Red Sox’s illegal sign stealing in 2018 determined the primary culprit was not the front office, manager Alex Cora or the players, but the team’s video replay system operator. The league, in findings that will be released Wednesday afternoon, suspended the operator, J.T. Watkins, and docked the Red Sox a second-round pick in the 2020 draft. It also suspended Cora through the conclusion of the 2020 postseason, but only for his conduct as Astros bench coach in 2017, not as Red Sox manager in ’18, when the team won 108 games and the World Series. Following a January report from The Athletic on the Red Sox’s conduct, Commissioner Rob Manfred found that Watkins, on at least some occasions during the 2018 regular season, illegally utilized game feeds in the replay room to help players during games — an undertaking less egregious than the Astros’ famed 2017 sign-stealing... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEndTheSuffering Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 While what the sux did clearly wasn’t as bad as the asterisks neither teams penalty was heavy enough. The 2017 title 100% should’ve been vacated with Hinch Cora and Luhnow all banned for life. For 2018 more draft picks should’ve been lost along with a huge fine and this Watkins guy also banned for life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROOKLYN JET Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 The report is a sham, they are basically saying even though Cora was a mastermind in Houston, he had nothing to do with it in Boston. Manfred is a joke, and baseball is ridiculous! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the constant in both of these schemes. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ban the staffer that supposedly was the mastermind in Boston, yet the intern in Houston who presented the original idea to the owner is still employed? Did Casserly recommend this jackass to MLB? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manfred can’t go after the players because the Mlbpa would file a grievance and probably win so he has to go after Cora Manfred is a way more capable commissioner than Goodell or Silver. Watch Belichick get nothing this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
