The biggest overlooked part of this presser is going to be the answer Dusty gave about how technology has effected the game over the years. Essentially saying this kind of stuff (sign stealing) has been going on and growing over the years and it isn't surprising it has gotten this far.
Like I've said since day 1, everyone knew they were pushing the boundaries, but I don't think anyone thought at the time that it was really "that bad". Simply because all of the other teams doing their own different things trying to get an advantage as well.
Manfred from the get go should have done a blanket statement saying they have caught multiple teams doing similar things and if they get caught again here are the punishments (loss of picks, fine, etc). Instead, he's trying to paint all of this on just the Astros it is a ****ing disaster for everyone.
