MLB disciplines the Astros; Beltran and the New York Mets dodge a bullet

Error 0:

Major League Baseball handed out severe punishments to the Houston Astros for their involvement in a sign-stealing scandal. Carlos Beltran, the New York Mets’ manager, was allegedly involved in the scheme. However, MLB decided not to punish players even though the method was mainly driven by them.

It is certainly not fair that no players are being punished if that’s the case. However, the league reportedly prefers not to initiate any fights with the players’ association (MLBPA.)

According to Ken Rosenthal, the team’s manager AJ Hinch and the GM Jeff Lunhow are suspended for a year.
