According to Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic, three anonymous people who were part of the Red Sox organization in 2018 said some players went to the replay room during games to gain information regarding their opponents' signs. "We were recently made aware of allegations suggesting the inappropriate use of our video replay room," the Red Sox said in a statement, via Rosenthal. "We take these allegations seriously and will fully cooperate with MLB as they investigate the matter."
He needs to get a lengthy suspension along with that tool hinch as well as anyone on the management ladder above them in boston and houston that knew which is probably most of them
Lets see how old tough guy Manfred handles this one. Good thought mermel and I agree, suspend both of those assholes!!!!!!
Suspension's need to be long and strong. I'd love to see both Teams having to forfeit their Series trophies. When that occurs; then everyone will begin to take the rules seriously...

This would be a 2nd violation for the Bosox. Mann stated at that time, Sept 15, 2017: "... all 30 Clubs have been notified that future violations of this type will be subject to more serious sanctions, including the possible loss of draft picks".

Considering the Houston situation Cora is looking at a year suspension. You would think the Red Sox need to take the same approach and clean house.
Per ESPN Sports any further punitive actions toward personnel below General or Field Manager Level will be taken care of by the club itself.
a historical rundown of sign stealing; leading to the present. Cya Cora!!! https://www.si.com/mlb/2020/01/13/houston-astros-cheating-punishment
MLB and MLBPA need to get together and address the sign stealing problem and commit to player penalties/fines/suspensions for their rolls in future violations...the players after all, are just as culpable.
https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...-sox-manager-following-sign-stealing-scandals Cora quits "We agreed today that parting ways was the best thing for the organization," Cora said in Tuesday's statement. "I do not want to be a distraction to the Red Sox as they move forward. My two years as manager were the best years of my life. It was an honor to manage these teams and help bring a World Series Championship back to Boston."
that little fkng cocksucker piece of shit. He giggles like a little girl too. I hope this scandal destroys the careers of Altuve, Bregman, Springer, etc etcetera!!! I hope the only question these fkrs ever hear from here to the end of their careers: "Why did you cheat"? "Why don't you come out and tell the fkng truth"? You threw the Mgr under the bus, after he broke your TV, why???
They're certainly gonna be continually asked questions for the upcoming season and maybe even beyond...the story will follow them and their franchise. Every time one of them goes on a hot streak or a slump people will wonder...and I'd imagine that several of the Astros players/batters will get plunked by pissed off opposing pitchers.
