We'll need a 2/3rds vote from the House to confirm that.

Why's he sporting a hard hat and safety vest?

Preparing the burial equipment for the penalty phase?

I wonder if the penalties will be limited to just the Astros (and Red Sox).

Plenty of folks undoubtedly knew what was going on, and have since gone elsewhere. The Mets manager, for instance.

I think this goes on more often than not in MLB.

Oh, it got a lot worse later. Astros fired the coach and GM hours later.

A lot of owners are supposedly pissed the punishment was so light. Seems several want the ownership forced to sell and players suspended. Seems many think the punishment should have been to hurt the franchise long term by a significant amount - not for a few weeks.

Maybe even more.

The one that got away appears to be Beltran. Though he's going to go through the NY media gauntlet for a good long while, unless he wins a whole lot :P

Ex-MLB Pitcher Mike Bolsinger Files Suit Claiming Sign Stealing Ended His Career
Bolsinger gave up four earned runs to the Astros in his last major-league outing

He really doesn’t. Pitchers don’t have careers ended because of one bad outing. He had ample opportunities to make his case to stay in the majors but didn’t impress over the long term. The fact that he did well in Japan says more about the talent level of Japanese baseball than about his ability to pitch in the majors

Don't be mad at Verlander because the Tigers had the best roster in baseball for 3-4 years and couldn't get it done.
And it's not like Verlander won a bunch of World Series games for the Astros.
