November 19, 20196 yr There are a bunch of rumors flying around that that Taubman douche bag lawyered up and is cooperating with the MLB and Luhnow stepped down last night.

November 19, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, mqr said: That's a shame Agreed. 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.

November 19, 20196 yr people saying they're only getting a fine if that's true, the mlb is essentially saying you can cheat for a price. somebody has to get the axe, hard, for this

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, 20196 yr by BackDoorBreach

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.
November 20, 20196 yr this is disappointing because I was a fan of that Astros team on account of them being so damn good..... oops

On MLBTR, the majority of comments were people saying if you expect more than a fine you're setting yourself up for disappointment Edited November 20, 20196 yr by joesaiditstrue

Actual executives and reporters are saying the hammer is coming down.

November 20, 20196 yr Baseball punishments have been very strict, and this is a thing that could piss off other owners who give Manfred his support
