Did anything concrete come out today about buzzers or cheating in 2019 or did this all happen because of Beltran's fake niece?


Oh no

MLB issued a statement that said it investigated electronic devices on players and found no evidence that they were being used.

Pretty concrete

new GM's first priority should be trading for Mike Fiers.

I think there wouldn't be much left of Fiers after JV and Bregs took care of bidness

My plan was to make him pitch every inning of every game until he suffers a career-ending injury, but that sounds good too.

Best PR move at this point would be hiring Hinch back and let him serve out is suspension. Citing that a manager would never risk his career with a second violation and has been punished enough for what Beltran and co did at three different organizations including the stros, Yankees and what he taught Cora and implemented with the Red Sox. **** em, make their heads explode.

Or, we hire Beltran as manager. He's not suspended and would be then protected with a job to open up with the truth with Yankees as well. Talk about an exciting start to 2020 season.

They just stated on MLB network, "Carlos Beltran and MLB are better when they're together." Pay the man.

I can't find it, but wasn't there a story about Taubman and him confronting some people in Yankee stadium?

The greatest thing I've ever heard was just on MLB. Beltran played a "key role" in the cheating scandal per report but there was no cheating going on in 15 as a player or there was no cheating when he was a "special assistant" in NY in 2018. Ok

Manfred is going to kill Mike Fiers for opening this door.
yes, it's awesome how all this is blowing up on Manfred & MLB.

can't go after just 1 or 2 teams when the whole league is doing it and all the players know it

and Jessica Mendoza...I missed her comments earlier. Calling out Fiers -- that was gutsy in her dual role as Mets advisor and ESPN analyst

Nothing about Springer avoiding arbitration with a 1 year deal? Reported at $21M.
so George will become a free agent after the 2020 season.

I guess an extension was not offered or not accepted.

if he's like most players...he'll have a monster season in his contract year

Hire Taubman to simultaneously manage the Astros, Red Sox, and Mets using video technology in all three dugouts.

Adam Clanton can be annoying sometimes but I give him credit for being one of the only Houston blue star guys who will actively be a voice for the Astros on Twitter. Need more. It's such an unfair fight. NY influenced everything as per the usual. Establishment stays establishment.

Yankees hire Carlos Beltran to be special adviser? Who cares. Altuve doesn't want his jersey ripped off? HE'S WEARING A BUZZER!!

John Granato on ESPN 97.5 said he heard from someone close to the team that Springer is good with signing an extension this spring, he said they will get it done in the spring.

I had forgotten that Beltran gave Yuli a "tip" in June that totally turned his season around...

I feel similarly. I'd been an Astros fan for so long that when we won in 2017, 2018 was just not the same as previous years. The allure of what it would be like to win a WS was gone. Anyways, I'm more pumped about this coming season than I've been since we won......seeing people's heads explode when we again are one of the best teams in baseball is going to be fantastic.

So what your really saying is that Beltran updated the firmware on Yuli's buzzer while in NY?

Don't forget the "drill" he taught Carlos in 2017 that helped him catch up to FBs.

I love that people are now accusing Reddick of wearing a device....you mean the guy that batted like 1 for 100 in the post season in 2017? that guy?
