Not that this is surprise to anyone that really follows baseball. It was rampant. Astros made an example of to clean it up.

Pretty much like the Saints and bounty gate. With the pressure to win in sports everyone is going to find ways to get an advantage. And if we think these things and others aren't still going on we are all stupid. All through out baseball and even softball it's pretty common to see defense talking with a glove covering their mouth.

Once this generation of players retires and can't be punished for spilling the beans, that's when we'll learn that in exchange for no punishment the Astros players were put under a gag order from implicating other teams - specifically Manfred's big city darlings.

clean what up? Astros were the only team to cheat. So they were the only ones that needed to be punished.

This confirms once again what many of us suspected all along.

Did you read the article and what was said? Reading is fundamental.

Two extremely stupid posts. Not surprising from a Yankees fan, considering yall definitely cheated too.

I refuse to believe that report.

And I refuse to believe all of the many other players, managers, executives and journalists who have said that sign stealing was rampant..

They are all liars. The Astros are the only team to ever cheat in the entire history of Baseball.

Besides, there is no way a multi-billion dollar organization would sacrifice one team just to salvage the brand of the cash cows.

Especially when the sacrifical lamb is located below the Mason-Dixon Line in a red state such as Texas.

None of us are surprised.

If you believe this, you’re an idiot.

The Red Sox were also caught.

Your Yankees have a letter that they are deathly afraid to be opened.

Your Yankees were also caught using Apple Watches.

Many teams cheated in 2017.
