This is the drip-drip-drip of the scandal, how the protagonists and antagonists and foils drift out of and back into view, how they claim and play their parts, how they get on with it.
More than two months had passed since Mike Fiers cleared his throat and leveled the finest season in Houston Astros history and the dozens of men who had any place in it, himself included.
Four men, so far, are out of jobs, and that probably isn’t the worst of it. The slag of the scandal does not stop smoking when the commissioner puts away his pen.
