We had a thread on the sign stealing scandal when it first broke - and I was adamant that MLB would do nothing.
Welp, guess I was wrong about that.
Hinch gone. Cora gone. Now Beltran gone. Bregman and Altuve may get some time out too for wearing buzzers under their uniforms that the video guy would buzz to signal pitches.
Outside of the Black Sox and Pete Rose, I can't think of another instance of MLB really standing up and trying to really crack down on a major issue - they sure as hell didn't do with steroids (which had a far great impact on the game).
It is really interesting too because sign stealing has been a part of the game for forever - from Little League up. I've done it. I've had team mates do it. Hell, I've seen parents and coaches do it.
This will be interesting to watch, because I don't think its done yet.
