hopefully that's not all, the team should lose some picks

Alex Cora next?

That's a good start, but there needs to be more like losing draft picks and

What about a hard cap lower than other teams?

1 year seems light. Was hoping they'd get the full Jim Tressel.

Meh...one year. I don’t know why, but that doesn’t seem to harsh.

Nice to see them take it seriously...unlike Goodell with the Patriots.

No penalty for Mets Manger Carlos Beltran. Penalty for Sox Manager Alex Cora still coming and will be harsh.

Man, i already took back every nice thing I said about Hinch, but I feel dirty for ever liking him in the first place.

Fuel your hatred again and watch him just 3 months ago dare someone to put their name on cheating accusations:

Amazing. Between that and the spin rate bump they get from "acouting and analytics" i'm willing to believe anything now.

They also claimed a cpap machine gave their reliever a 10mph velocity jump

They don't even really try to hide the pine tar. Eno Sarris and Tervor Bauer basically busted them on that one.

What a joke of a punishment. Braves looks draft picks and international signing pool money

Didn't realize they lost 2 draft picks as well, but still seems light

4 draft picks—two years of first and second round.

Fair, but 4 draft picks for the Astros vs 13 voided IFA signings and 1 lost draft pick for the Braves

memento

1/13/20 12:47pm

Voided entire year of IFA signings, still kept the penalty for going over IFA

Luhnow should be a lifetime ban.

Dang. I like Hinch a lot. Must have been some pretty damning stuff.

Loss of 4 1st & 2nd round draft picks is probably the bigger punishment.

Really sucks when you're a fan of a team that lost to the cheating team in 7 games. Boo.

Still not enough. These guys should've been given the Pete Rose treatment.

1/13/20 12:10pm

What exactly did they do?

Whether they promoted it or turned a blind eye makes no difference to me

1/13/20 2:05pm

Sorry, I read your comment as what part did they play in it

1/13/20 2:07pm
