Blue Jays division rival gets off easy from MLB office

It feels like an awfully long time since the MLB office came down with their punishments for the Houston Astros organization, and almost immediately afterward, the question turned to when the Red Sox would face consequences.

We got our answer on Wednesday, and the punishment feels pretty light to me.

The Red Sox were hit with the loss of a 2nd round pick in the upcoming draft, and their former manager Alex Cora was suspended for the 2020 season. Of course, he was already fired by the Red Sox for his involvement in the Astros’ scandal, and it’s possible we may not even have a 2020 season.
