That's totally ****ed up.
The MLBPA needs to crack down on this hard and owners need to be held accountable. Stuff like this needs real punishment. Owners need to be at risk of losing their franchise over this kind of thing and players need to be hit with season long suspensions.
Never going to happen.
Why would anyone suspend or ban the best players in their sport?
Supposedly 23 Astro players were at some of these 'meetings'. Can't suspend them all. There would be no team, and bringing up minor league players harms the Astros of course, but it also harms the 1,000's of season ticket holders in Houston, AND the teams the Astros play on the road. Fans would be paying top $ to go see minor league players?
It's a weird situation. They broke the rules, they deserve punishment but because this is so wide spread MLB's hands are tied.
Again, they need to fight technology with technology.. They need to install the NFL QB helmet type radio system with the pitchers, catchers and dugout. No signs would be needed, so no way they could be stolen.
