Apparently it's a lot more severe and important than domestic abuse.

No problems with stealing signs. The problem is the way they used their cameras to do it and sent a feed to the dugout.

On that note, a guy developed an app that used machine learning to steal signs.

Both the Astros and the Red Sox must forfeit the championships they won in 2017 and 208, respectively.
They must?
No.

On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Greece
Cora, as Astros bench coach in 2017, ordered the installation of the illegal monitor near the Astros’ dugout and assisted players in the systematic stealing of signs at Minute Maid Park. So the Astros beat the Dodgers in the 2017 World Series by cheating.

The same Cora was instrumental in utilizing the replay review room to decode and transmit signs when he moved to the Red Sox in 2018. The technology was used by the Red Sox to cheat the Dodgers during the 2018 World Series.

Both the Astros and the Red Sox must forfeit the championships they won in 2017 and 208, respectively. Plain and simple.
They must?
No.
I've been thinking about this for the last little while.

When your hitters know whats coming that's got to be a real definitive advantage. Really tilts the playing field.

The fact that these clubs are not hesitating to clean house says volumes to the magnitude of their crimes.

Forfeiting championships might not be out of the question here.

Cora out as Bosox manager. Both sides agreed there is no way he could continue on as manager so he’s stepping down.

They probably told him he was gone no matter what, so this sounds a touch softer than firing, but everyone knows what it is.

I know you can't take the World Series away from the Astros, but they should put a little Asterisk* behind their title win

Now Carlos Beltran has stepped down as Mets manager.
I read earlier in the day, before the firing, that when he was announced as just an advisor to the Mets, Alex Cora was saying that it was the best hire the Mets made, including players, and that Beltran would bring a lot of tools to the Mets.

Amidst Carlos Beltran mutually parting ways with the Mets today, his alleged niece is going off on Twitter. She's the same person who announced Beltran was being hired and fired before anyone. Today she's outing Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman for wearing buzzers under their jerseys to tip off pitches in real time. This has been rumored for a while, but she's obviously adding fuel to the fire.

We knew about 2017, but what about 2019? This was Jose Altuve's reaction to his walk off against Chapman to knock the Yankees out of the ALCS. Dude demanded no one rip his jersey off as he was mobbed at home plate. But why? Maybe because he was wearing wires under his fucking jersey!


Beltran's bogus, alleged maybe-niece claims that Altuve and Bregman wore buzzers under their uniforms.

Let them all cheat and let them all use PEDs and it's a level playing field again with asterisks.
