ncaa...take notes
Draft pick losses are the key here.
Serious question. How big are first and second round draft picks in MLB versus NBA and NFL? As in, how many 1st and second round picks make it to the major leagues? I know farm systems are important for most teams, but how much?
NCAA is an association of members....come on...you're a lawyer, you know the differences between the orgs are watermelons to chevy pickup trucks.
Hinch and Luhnow are the fall guys, hopefully Cora gets a multi year suspension. Seems like MLB probably knew both Hinch and Luhnow would be terminated, hence the one season suspension. No players mentioned, seems like someone on the field should have been complicit here. Draft pick losses are the key here.
Huge penalties! I expected nothing after the Cardinals got slapped on the wrist for hacking the Astros.

He was always pitching but now he's bitching...
They probably didn't want to open a can of worms with the MLBPA with a new CBA on the horizon.
I bet Boston doesn't get out of this unscathed.
Then Stern and the Brewers?
Why? Have the Brewers been accused of something?
They’ve been accused but MLB has not found anything in any investigations.
