    Is this a serious post?
    Yes it’s a serious post. First those are 4 players on a 25 man roster. Second you don’t have to blatantly say you’re sending a player down because they aren’t cheating. You could trade them as well. Third it’s virtually impossible to ignore information you’re given whether you want it or not.

    Oh and btw this kind of sign stealing isn’t allowed in any shape or form. Didn’t seem to stop the coaches and FO.

    Nothing would stop the players from reporting this to MLB. I think they’re smart enough to figure out why they’re getting the banishment treatment. Also, no team is going to get rid of 4 of the best players in the league because they won’t wear a buzzer. Newsflash: those players are superb talents without it. Who are they going to replace them with?

    Your theory is utter nonsense.

    Well obviously. Though to be completely fair, compared with you anyone would appear to be one.

    Team who wants to cheat to win gets rid of all of their best players for refusing to participate, because getting rid of all your best players is how to win, Makes perfect ****ing sense to me.

    I knew a girl who failed an ethics exam three times.

    My joke was that not only was she unethical, she couldn't even imagine what the ethical answer would be.

    You sound like you're in a similar circumstance

    I think a good punishment for the Astros would be to ban them from hosting any postseason games over the next 2-3 years. Let them go to the playoffs if they make it, but make them go on the road for the whole thing.

    During the season, small groups of Astros discussed their misgivings. McCann at one point approached Beltrán and asked him to stop, two members of the 2017 team said.
    "He disregarded it and steamrolled everybody," one of the team members said. "Where do you go if you're a young, impressionable player with the Astros and this guy says, 'We're doing this'? What do you do?"
    Data collected by Astros fan Tony Adams found Beltran was among the Astros players who received the most signs via the trash can banging system in 2017. McCann was on the other opposite end of the spectrum. He was among the Astros who received the fewest.
