If the Sox weren't using it doing the POs, it kind of helps validate the title, doesn't it?
-
Morrison seems like a guy who's plenty willing to talk. Rosenthal and Drellich need to talk to him, at least...
-
That's what I say too.
-
Now that Morrison has spoken up, all we need is one or two more to speak up, or squeal in confidence, and Manfred is going to be facing a massive headache.
-
Morrison said firsthand accounts. So you start by asking him whose accounts.
-
I assume Morrison understands that distinction.
-
How did Manfred get his info on the Red Sox? He basically just talked to people, right?
-
You shouldn't be surprised at all. “So many teams are doing this,” Morrison wrote. “Exactly how many...I’m not sure.” “I know from first hand accounts that the Yankees, Dodgers, Astros and Red Sox all have used film to pick signs.” Shouldn't Manfred want to talk to Morrison and learn more about these accounts? He wants to catch all the cheaters, doesn't he?
-
Logan Morrison's comments are exactly what I was waiting to hear. Now Manfred has to expand the investigation.
-
Totally disagree.
-
Here's the thing: when the Sox got caught with the watch, Manfred said there would be punishment the next time. You don't double up and say, okay, now I'm going to punish you for the first time too. A warning is a warning. We'll see what he does.
-
You have to look at the severity of the offenses too.
-
Agree on Cora, disagree on Red Sox. Their cheating methods were not as extreme as the Astros based on what we know. The watch was kind of a joke in fact, compared to the later stuff.
-
Agreed, but Manfred also has to look fair.
-
But it's not the usual protocol to give only a warning on first offense, and then go apeshit if there's a second offense.
-
Fiers is the only identified squealer at this point. I imagine it was a very difficult thing for him to do.
-
Next question: will Cora strike back about other teams he thinks were doing the same thing?
-
He lied his ass off with his original denials, that much is indisputable.
-
MLB should also be damn concerned that other teams were doing it. The only reason Houston and Boston have been investigated is that squealers stepped forth. Is Manfred crossing his fingers hoping no more squealers emerge?
-
Well, maybe this is a wishful anti-Yankee scenario, but there are some interesting things about Beltran. -Although not punished for it, he's mentioned in the report about the Astros. -The Yankees hired him in Dec/18 as a 'special adviser'. -After a series with the Yankees in 2019, maybe the London series, Cora made some slightly strange comments about Beltran helping the Yankees a lot with 'details'. Some commentators like Bradford are also suggesting that MLB knew more about what was going on than they're saying, based on some preventative measures they instituted.
-
Maybe, but there's nothing in the statement about it other than putting it in the timeline for 2017.
-
Explain why the Red Sox would?
-
My prediction is that the sign stealing scandal is far from over, and it's going to drag other teams in and get very dirty by the time it's over.
-
Johnson will almost certainly do some pitching for us this year.
-
The only way this could make a re-set happen is if it's Betts that traded.
