This has been a wild day.

Dirty laundry is being aired.  Heavy accusations.  Burner accounts.  Check out what Scott Brosius’ son is claiming.

Please do share.  I am not a part of the Twitterverse ...

Yes, really.

He’s a cheater, and now a notorious one. Letting him depart on his own terms, with a “severance” package is disgusting. Maybe you’d use a different adjective, but mine is fitting.

Disgusting is when you fart in the car and lock the windows and blast the heat to gross out your girlfriend.  Not that I've done that, but I'm assuming you have.

I'm also assuming that a severance package is baked into whatever collective bargaining agreement they're adhering to these days.  And he didn't get to depart on his own terms, he was fired.

Don’t be insulting, Moose, it’s uncalled for.

when you fire someone for cause, and “cheating” is cause, there is no severance, nor should there be. If Beltran didn’t do anything wrong, there’s no need for his departure anyway.

MLB isn’t punishing Beltran, but that doesn’t mean the Mets can’t. And they certainly should.

He did get noneckie a few years back. But I don't know about that.

It's a joke and it's very called for.  Lighten up, butter cup.

Again, I believe that severance is something that's agreed upon.  And the Mets punished Beltran by firing him.

Elias is in the witness protection program here in Baltimore.  He's avoiding all this fallout.  

He may have run away from that org just in time to save face.

Elias would have ended up rebuilding a team in South Korea.

It is completely uncalled for, you are insulting me because I think that Beltran should be severely punished. You’re welcome to disagree, and Yay, but you’re not welcome to insult me because I have a different take on a subject then you do.

 This man cheated he did so deliberately knowingly and willingly, and therefore does not deserve anything except a quick escort off of company property. It is entirely irrelevant whether other people are cheating as well because if they are they should also be escorted off the property.

A month later, Rosenthal broke the story after getting the tip from Fiers.

Gotta wonder if he knew, just was waiting for someone to go on record. Kind of a pointed question to ask during a super brief interview after such a big game.

I didn't say Beltran shouldn't be severely punished.

Baseball sure has a poop show on their hands. Really can this get much worse?

Really this is uncalled for.

All that needs to happen is one ex Yankee to say publicly they cheated, and MLB would have to investigate. Hopefully Jacoby Ellsbury takes them down.
