5 million dollar fine (max allowed), two years worth of first and second round picks lost, basically devastating for the farm system, GM and FM one-year suspensions, possibly ending their careers, but justice will not be served until Josh Reddick gets clocked by a 97 MPH fastball.
You're trying to make it sound as bad as possible, because you know this was not harsh enough. The draft picks hurt, but in baseball draft picks are no sure thing and it's common to find MLB talent anywhere in the first 10 rounds or so. $5M fine is nothing to a billionaire owner, that's like they signed one extra mid level bullpen arm for the year.
I would be surprised if either Hinch or Ludlow's careers are over as well, but even if they are they've each already made millions from the game.
The title should have been stripped and all players involved should have been suspended for at least 50 games. That would have sent a clear message.

I'm saying what the punishment was, because people act like there wasn't any.
MLB gonna start vacating titles for cheating? Awesome. Let's vacate every title from the 90s. Let's vacate the titles the Sox and Yankees won with juiced-up players. Steroids are actually illegal and dangerous to use unsupervised. The Astros watched TV and banged on a trashcan.
And yeah, I'm guessing basically everyone was doing some version of this. MLB isn't gonna open that can of worms and it's not like the people who run baseball are any less frustrated by this than the average fan, anyway.
Everyone wasn't doing this, if they were there would be no point in Fiers acting as the smoking gun. I believe other teams like the Yankees and Red Sox cheated as well, but that doesn't mean all of MLB was. Astros are a bunch of cheaters and that title is certainly not legit in plenty of people's minds, even if Manfred doesn't have the balls to officially strip them of the title.
Orioles 5-3 and in 2nd place in the East. We'll probably win just enough games to have a higher draft pick than we should but still miss the playoffs. The 60 game season will probably screw us. If we played 162, we'd obviously be losing 100 games and have a top 3 pick.

Not sure what I'm supposed to make of this given that I'm an unabashed Dodgers fan. It's also probably super obvious I run the r/Dodgers Twitter account.

They're probably using your account to cheat somehow
We need more flair and more bad guys in baseball. I wanna see bat flips. I wanna see Tatis do ballsy shit. I wanna see Bauer run his mouth/Twitter fingers. I wanna see Joe Kelly headhunt and then be like, yeah fuck Houston afterwards.
The game got too boring, too analytical. The three true outcomes make things suck. Four hour games suck. Players with no personality aren't fun to watch.
