The Tampa Bay Rays and the rest of the baseball world are sitting on the edge of their seats as the punishments unfold for the Astros and (soon-to-be) Red Sox for their use of technology to cheat the game.
The MLB made its ruling on the Astros cheating scandal on Monday and the punishment was harsh. Commissioner Rob Manfried suspended manager AJ Hinch and GM Jeff Lunhow for one year.
Astros’ owner, Jim Crane immediately held a press conference in which he announced the firing of Hinch and Lunhow.
The Astros were also fined $5 million and lost their top two draft picks of the next two seasons.
