Well there’s obviously some pressure from the team and some teammates to go along with it. There’s the part of you that doesn’t want to go against your own organization.

I cant decide if taubman is the kind of guy who would fuck over the Astros or if he's the kind of douche who blames mlb baseball and would never help them. Regardless, Luhnow doesnt strike me as the kind of guy who steps down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you read that because everything coming out is saying the opposite. I think I read they could only be fined somewhere up to 2 or 3 million dollars. There is a 0% chance that is all they get. Edited November 20, 2019 by BackDoorBreach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the White Sox didn't stink I wouldn't think this, but I hope this causes a major public backlash for MLB. I know it won't, though.
