This is worse than the Black Sox, and it isn't even close. The fact that the MLB is trying to sweep this under the rug is absolutely baffling. Listen here, Mr. Manferd: baseball fans are not going to forget about this. This isn't going anywhere. That title will never be viewed as legitimate by the baseball community, and this press conference made everything SO much worse in the eyes of anyone with an ounce of mental ability. Make this right and vacate the title, or step down and let someone with the sense and nerve you are lacking do the job for you. For the game. Shame on you.

[@Capital_Ideas1]

It's not baffling. MLB doesn't want to hurt the Astros franchise too much, because then all the owners lose. They try to find the right balance between harshness of punishment and allowing revenue to be earned in a large metro area like Houston. they didn't find that balance, in this case.
