It basically comes down to the Astros no longer will get the same negative reaction game to game, will have their draft penalties not be as severe in practice, and the injury to Verlander is basically wiped out
Or the red sox who will now probably never have their report release and my never have their punishment publicly announced. I'm leaning Astros still but a legit debate between the two
And on the flipside, my basketball and baseball teams are the two probably hurt the most out of this which is how the universe usually works

Yup. I hope people don’t forget, but I have the feeling they’ll get off the hook in regards to opposing fan reaction.

I have zero faith that there will be a full season, if one at all regardless of whatever ideas they all explore. The liability is far too high in regards to owners if someone gets sick and dies.
I guess the MLBPA could accept that they are playing at their own risk, but I don’t see it happening.
Therefore, Verlander is getting up there in age. They get off the injury hook with him here, but he’ll likely be a year older by the time he takes the rubber again. He won’t keep it up and Houston’s window is closing.

I think it’s a situation where in an alternate covid free universe the Astros were gonna bear the PR hit disproportionately between the two and go a full season with extremely hostile crowds. Now IF there is a season there is a strong strong possibility of limited to no crowds and a general let bygones be bygones let’s go have fun not show up to be angry at opposing players mentality from the fans who can go. The Astros clearly benefit from a PR standpoint
On the other hand the Red Sox would be repeat offenders and based on reports some people had been giving conflicting statements which laid the possibility that Manfred took them to be concealing stuff and hammered them harder on an organizational level than the Astros. It would end up kinda being a 5-10 minute segment on mlb tonight (rather than entire shows like the Astros in the offseason) because the regular season would be ongoing and fans would be paying attention to their own teams.
