This is far worse than steroids. Players would rather face steroid users than the incredible amount of cheating that has been rampant with a number of teams across the last decade.

For what it is worth, I’ve had friends who work in a few MLB front offices (not the Angels) share a few stories with me this week. Holy shiz is the rumor and speculations amongst players and front office types going nuts. The cheating allegations for other teams and players are pretty remarkable. This is going to get really ugly. MLB is going to have to come down hard on a whole host of teams. If not, just legalize cheating as players who don’t cheat are beyond livid. This is truly lit AF.

Enrons.

I really don’t get what Kennedy is doing here. He clearly has some bitterness towards the organization. I suspect he was on TeamScioscia and resents how the new FO didn’t want him back after his contract ran out.

I do but I don’t really post on baseball on the account. I’ve also been posting on the various AW forums for more than a decade.

Hint: every Astros batter is guilty.

RUMINT from a friend who works for a MLB team. He/she does not work for the Angels. It’s entirely legit.

Cora won’t be formally involved with an organization ever again.

If there was promotion/relegation the league could have docked them points, essentially forcing a relegation. Banning a team from MLB is ridiculous and clearly illegal.

How would this be tied to the Astros minor league contraction plan? I don’t get it.

The owners don’t want to pick this fight in the midst of important CBA negotiations.

Alex Cora is done in the game. Red Sox will fire him after the inevitable lengthy suspension or banishment from the game. This way they avoid paying him out.

Rumor has it the Dodgers are next. They allegedly bugged their opponent’s locker room. During the 2019 playoffs Anthopolous, a former member of the Dodgers front office, held all Braves strategy and team meetings at their hotel - not at Dodger Stadium.

Thank you Arte.

This is going to be a big deal for the Halos. I imagine this may give Arte cause to fire Eppler and completely clean house. This will not go down well with Arte. At all.

How is not going to college an increased risk factor for partying?

I don’t think one can genuinely be concerned about carbon emissions and also be against nuclear power. All these green new deal bills are just political theater. Even if America magically becomes carbon neutral tomorrow it would barely dent future temperature rises. The only way we tackle greenhouse gas emissions globally is new technology that produces consistent, reliable energy that is more cost-effective than oil, coal, and natural gas.

Angels were pretty dysfunctional under Scioscia/Reagins and Scioscia/DiPoto. i don’t get the argument for now.

Endorse. The faster it can be integrated into MLB the better.

No foul play suspected per local police. Apparently they plan to release the cause of death later today. A horrible, devastating loss to the Skaggs family.

I’m pretty sure Tommy Hanson died from a cocaine overdose.

Again, you don’t draft for need. You draft for perceived future value.

MLB teams don’t draft for “need.” They draft the player that has, in their opinion, the best chance at achieving the most value.

Long live the goat!

Fair point.
