Even though Major League Baseball’s tampering investigation against the Chicago Cubs and how they hired Joe Maddon is in its sixth month, and even though one report said the Rays had proof of tampering, it sounds like the investigation will be concluded without any discipline being leveled against the Cubs.
Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that the investigation should be over soon and that there may not be any strong evidence to implicate the Cubs.
“The expectation is that MLB’s tampering investigation spurred by Tampa Bay’s allegation against the Cubs in the Joe Maddon case will be wrapped up fairly soon, and while MLB was still interviewing people involved as recently as last week, there is believed to have been no smoking gun found.
