This is all because Dane e-mailed Manfred a dick pic.

No he didn't. We continuously broke the loosest rules in the game for multiple years - and did so while thumbing our nose at the Commissioner while he was trying to send the message to EVERYONE to clean their *hit up when he penalized Boston.
You can argue we got off slightly lucky.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
The Braves are indeed just rolling over and taking it. Must be nice for Manfred to find such a convenient whipping boy.

Losing a third round pick because someone joked about giving Waters a car? Banning someone for life? Preventing us from signing someone a couple years from now because we came to an early agreement, something everyone does?
Manfred let ego get involved in this. The whole reason he's sending a message is because he's sulking like a spoiled child. This is a temper tantrum.
I'll concede losing the players is fair once I see MLB come down on other organizations this hard, including at least one of their sacred cows.

The sun will rise tomorrow, but we broke rules and got caught we will survive this. Time to look forward.
Losing the players and Coppy being banned for life is sending a pretty big message. Going beyond that is really just punishing Braves fans. He should have put us on a 5 year probation or something. Hopefully MLB will rethink who is being punished here.

Had to laugh at this from the Nats board regarding Manfred's statement....
Rob Manfred:
You possess evidence that the offer of a car to Waters was false?
Who gives a *hit if Coppy is banned for life? It's not like the organization was ever going to re-hire him.
If they have evidence (which they obviously do) that we came to an illegal agreement with a kid that can't be signed for another two years, we shouldn't be allowed to sign him.

Utter BS! Make an example of a team doing the exact same thing every other team does! This is why I hate the IFA rules!
