BREAKING NEWS - Houston Loses 1st and 2nd Round Draft Picks


BREAKING: Houston Astros GM Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch have been suspended for one year after an MLB investigation found the team used technology to cheat during its World Series-winning 2017 season, sources familiar with the punishment tell ESPN.

Additionally, MLB will fine the Astros $5 million and take away their first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts, sources tell ESPN.

    Peeping Toms get severe punishment.

    Beltran got off, then?

    I don't understand how players can't be held responsible for participating in this.

    Maybe the manager pulled the trigger, but what about the people that helped him?

    It was attempted by the Nazis, "I was only following orders."

    It's actually heartening to see a club hold its personnel accountable. Actually, "Rare" is a better word.

    Not sure its true accountability. Its a practical thing right? They would have no GM or manager for 1y. You have to fire them.

    Flip side. This helps Mets right? The Mets supplemental and second rd picks get a slight boost.
