Seems a bit extreme.
Yep...it was worth it.Texas A&M said:
We have one WS title and we'll be in contention for at least the next few years. It is extreme, but most of the pain (via lost draft picks) won't be felt until far enough out in the future for me not to lose any sleep now.

I'm not sure what the point is of this punishment. Because if I'm a front office that is trying to win at all costs then this doesn't deter me much at all.
This was a small price to pay for a World Series.

No one in baseball respects the cheating Astros. Having an asterisk next your " title " is embarrassing.
Maybe for people that are directly involved with the team but the fans don't care. They ain't gonna burn all their 2017 World Series gear.Danny Vermin said:
