More adult players are now investing in the protective equipment.
Major League Baseball is faking it when it says it actually cares about the sign-stealing saga of the Houston Astros.
First off, there were no player suspensions handed down by the league because it wanted players to actually rat each other out with no fear of punishment.
That was the first sign: MLB would rather its stars play than get banned from the game for a year or more, which would have been a more appropriate action.
Now the report comes out that manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow will be eligible to return in 2021, no matter the fate of the 2020 season.
So Hinch and Luhnow may be back on the job with zero games missed because of the Astros scandal.
Who exactly felt the brunt of this? The Astros organization gets to keep the trophy, players aren’t suspended and the manager and GM could get off scot-free because of COVID-19. The team lost $5 million and some draft picks.
Commissioner Rob Manfred appears to be the judge every criminal would love to have.
