but that his report put 99% of the blame on players and Cora (bench coach at the time) for the cheating. And the report wasn't even out a day when new evidence came to light that the front office knew what was going on. And so even though MLB says this isn't institutional corruption and it was the players, the players didn't get punished because the MLBPA would file grievances because the Astros GM didn't share with the players a 2017 memo about cheating with technology. Well why did Manfred think the Astros GM didn't share that memo with the players? What a complete fail by Manfred.

So yes, expect players to take matters into their own hands. The irony will be that the retaliatory players will be the only ones to be punished.
