“Stealing signs from 2nd is legal” “Teams have been stealing signs forever” These are things that you hear from Blind homers who are ignorant about their team. Those are things that are true. No shit lol. They are also things that have relevance to this specific case.

Those are things that are true. No shit lol. They are also things that have relevance to this specific case. The thing that makes those things questionable and investigateable was the use of the technology part of it. Im just wondering what caused the "new evidence" statement made last week on this. I havent heard a peep.

No matter the additional penalties, they will still be required to play in that trash can of a "stadium" and be hit with racist taunts from the fans. That's quite severe already.

It sounded as if they were going to have the punishment reveled last week only to say there was new evidence they needed to further investigate.

They should punish the Red Sox strictly for replacing Betts with this scumbag. At least Betts was like-able.

Thing is the reaction to Astros, that the penalty was way too light will probably come back to haunt Red Sox ... commissioner will feel pressure to penalize them more than he would have. Good

How can this possibly be taking so long? If there was nothing going on what are they reinterviewing and trying to unearth?
Now they are saying by the end of next week.
I dont expect it to be as bad as Houstons penalty but I dont expect it to be the slap on the wrist they received last time.
It is Manfred though so who knows. He will screw it up. Either way to soft or way to harsh.

Finally! We hear some news about this... Appearing in court to argue about the impact of baseball’s sign-stealing scandals on the fantasy sports industry, team lawyer Lauren Moskowitz of Cravath, Swaine & Moore refused to admit the Sox illegally used electronics in 2018 but implied that the club was aware of what commissioner Rob Manfred had found in his investigation. “Your Honor, I think that there are distinctions between what the Red Sox believe occurred and what the commissioner found," Moskowitz told Judge Jed Radoff. "And I think that certainly they’re entitled to disagree that that activity happened at the club level. Certainly, we did find on certain occasions in 2017, that this electronic device was used to communicate sign information.” The reference to 2017 was likely a nod to how the Red Sox improperly used an electronic watch to relay signs that season. A Jan. 7 report from The Athletic in January alleged Boston improperly used a video replay room to steal opponents’ signs and transmit them to players during games during their championship season in 2018. www.masslive.com/redsox/2020/03/do-boston-red-sox-know-results-of-mlb-sign-stealing-investigation-lawyer-suggests-team-disagrees-with-leagues-findings-report.html

MLB's investigation into cheating allegations against Red Sox complete BOSTON — The head of Major League Baseball says he is finished with the investigation into cheating allegations against the Red Sox. Commissioner Rob Manfred told ESPN he hasn't written his formal report on claims of sign stealing by the Sox. Manfred said the probe is on the back burner as the league deals with the fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. Manfred said the report will be released before teams get back on the field. www.wcvb.com/article/investigation-into-red-sox-completed/31937249

2018 TAINTED TITLE Official
Morehead, Im waiting for every team to get suspended and loss of draft picks since every team does this, right?
Its the Boston/New England way. Patriots are now on the clock for the next cheating punishment.
I will say this, well timed by MLB. NFL Draft takes care of any talk about it tomorrow.

I didnt expect much, it wasnt as bad as what the Astros were doing, but it was ANOTHER technological advantage after they were warned.
Cora should be banned for life.
Im officially in the "Pete Rose for HOF" crowd now with this wrist slap. IF Cora only gets a Virus affected short year, Pete should have been back in a long time ago.

It was always a nothing story about a nothing event. MLB just tried to save face with the slap on the wrist.
It was just driven by angry Yankee fans who got crushed on the field and still can't handle being second best.
It's OUR century and you're just living in it. 4 World Series Championships since 2004.....including the most humiliating series defeat in major league baseball history in 2004 for Yankees fans.
God loves the Boston Red Sox!!!!!

Tainted and branded with the scarlet letter. The 2017 and 2018 World Series Cheaters will be known forever. When kids look back 50 years from now wondering why those managers where fired or why the Astros and Red Sox lost draft picks, the * will designate the scandal as such and tell the story. Your 20 years of Boston sports greatness is over Morehead. Your Red Sox are now cursed once again. Your Patriots are now something of yesteryear. Your Bs and Cs will not touch those trophies again for a long time. NY now has the next 80 years once again and you can now unashamedly dig into your closet and get your Jeter jersey and Yankees hat and wear them proudly as we triumphly triumph the next 8 decades together as Yankee fans.

Look....I've been pretty quiet about this. You guys have been pounding your chests for months about how the league is going to come down hard on the Sox......despite the fact that you knew nothing about what happened. Well that's what fandom will bring.
But every Sox player, former or otherwise have said the story was complete bullshit. The league had nothing because nothing happened. This was a token slap on the wrist because the league had to save face.
Cora was suspended strictly due to his actions in Houston. That is a fact. If there was anything else the league wouldn't have made that clear.
The Sox did nothing wrong. You can believe whatever you want. You're a sore losing Yankee fan. It was always a BS story based on a boatload of nothing.
So continue to live in your fantasy. The fact is that the Yankees fans are whining losers right now. A bunch of whiny babies.
Time to move on. Of course.........like most children....You simply can't. So keep stomping your feet and holding your breath. .......I love it.
