    Guess the penalty

    Let’s see who gets closest to guessing what penalty is handed down.

    I’ll say we lose most of the J2 signing class from this year and maybe a couple from Maitan’s signing period.
    And a fine of like 5 million bucks.

    Maitan i think would be way to harsh of a penalty since he has been in the system for over a year already and i hope we don’t lose the 8th pick either.

    A few guys from the last J2 class, restricted from signing international players for 2 years, and fined a few million bucks.

    This is where I stand as well. I don’t think we lose Maitan or the 8th pick.

    At the end of the day, MLB isn’t in a position where they want to materially harm one of their properties.

    Half of J2 last year. One year ban on international signing with two year probation after that. Fine of 4.8 million

    If they nuke us, I hope they go after every team in baseball. The international market is nothing but a bunch of back room deals and shady gamesmanship

    I think it will be a big fine and loss of future picks. I don't think they will take away players that are already signed.

    Apparently AA was told by Manfred that the investigation had been concluded for a while now. Which contradicts what we read a week or so ago.

    Here's my guess: We lose Maitan, Bae, Waters, any J2 signing of significance, as well as our 2018 first round pick. We're banned from international signings for 2 years and are fined in the neighborhood of $10 million.

    This would be an insane punishment but I could see it happening. MLB knows that there is a huge amount of rule breaking in the international market. They instituted new rules to get some parity and we're seeing teams (including the Braves) cheating to get around these rules.

    I think the Braves offer MLB the perfect chance to make an example. They'd never make an example out of one of their sacred cows (Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, or Dodgers). Smaller clubs like the Royals or Marlins aren't high enough profile to make a good example and would also be disproportionately hurt by sanctions.

    Enter the Braves. They commit some, apparently, pretty flagrant violations. The team is relatively high profile thanks to decades being broadcast nationally and unrivaled success in the 90s. But they aren't one of the sacred cows. Additionally, the Braves have a top farm system which makes them better able to absorb a massive hit without becoming a smoking crater and have sufficient revenues to pay a high fine.

    I think the Braves are too tempting a target and MLB wants to send a message to the rest of the league too bad to miss this chance. I think they hit us with everything they've got.
