Yes, and I think we're about to find out with the Red Sox.

You do?  I don't.  Not the Dodgers or Yankees. 

The thing is when you don't set actual guidelines you can have a sliding scale.

And for how many years and years and years.

This aspect of the cheating in baseball began with replay challenges.

You have to think if they do have dirt they gave it to MLB during the interview process.

How would that help them.  I know a certain politician like to accuse others of what they are doing but the they were doing it too is not a legal defense.

Red Sox get killed here. And they take it.

It will be interesting to see if it does escalate. I don't think it will happen either, but it could be interesting to see if any of them will try and drag down other teams with them. Fiers I think won't have an issue because it would be insanely obvious as to why he's not getting a contract. He'd get $ in suing the league, something Kapernick did and got a ton of compensation for. 

I'm not saying it's to excuse their behavior. I'm saying is that if they can prove other teams were cheating as well, does MLB pivot and go after other clubs for sign stealing?

Nope.  And since management has been fired and the owner knew nothing about baseball operations there is no one to report other teams.

They got a pretty free pass the first time they cheated.

Kinda hard to let them off for a second offense after the Astros got nailed to a wall.

You're more confident than I am. 

Cora gets killed. Not as sure the Sox do.

Earlier.

Indians did it in the 60's.

They will lose multiple picks.  5 Millions and Cora and the bench coach. Obviously not Chaim.

No. Those are not the rules.  A promotion negates those issues. 

But Dan was in line for a promotion in Toronto, wasn’t he? And yet we know what happened there.

Not really.
