How the Astros’ cheating scandal impacts the Seattle Mariners

First and foremost, allow me to say that I think the Astros should be severely punished for what anybody will tell you is cheating. This isn’t a smart base-runner picking up a sequence from second base and relaying to his dugout. This is a straight-up cheat. But our focus on this site is the Seattle Mariners, so let’s talk about how it is relevant to us.

Obviously, since the Mariners play in the division against Houston 19 times a year, there is a very good chance that they have been victimized by Houston’s scandal, but there isn’t really recourse the Mariners can pursue for, lacking a better term, “victims compensation”.
