With several position players in camp since last week with Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers and catchers, it’s given the clubhouse ample opportunities to voice their frustrations with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and the Houston Astros.
Among other remarks, Cody Bellinger called into question Manfred’s punishment for finding the Astros cheated en route to winning the 2017 World Series, he accused the team of cheating for three seasons, and took issue with Jose Altuve having an MVP Award to his name.
That angered Carlos Correa, who fired back at Bellinger for questioning Altuve’s accomplishments. Correa, despite incorrectly claiming MLB did not find the Astros cheated in 2018, also suggested to Bellinger that he be fully aware of the situation before commenting.
