Manfred seems to have already answered that question. But he also outed Beltran as a cheater and liar. So he's f***ed anyway.
-
Lots of buzz that the Mets have to fire Beltran now.
-
Manfred knows he f***ed up not being proactive about the video stuff. And if any more teams get implicated, the fingers will start pointing at him too.
-
They said that when Francona left too, IIRC
-
Get ready with a new one for the next guy.
-
Here's a new piece trying to drag the Yankees/Beltran into this with the comments Cora made after the London series. https://www.nj.com/yankees/2020/01/mlb-rumors-did-red-soxs-alex-cora-drop-hints-carlos-beltran-helped-yankees-cheat-in-2019.html

That's not what Morrison said though.
-
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.
