Perhaps the position players were under a non-disclosure agreement? Tell us what you know, in accordance with players’ union guidelines.
Bingo.
I may be hopelessly optimistic, but Rosenthal seems to have deftly thrown the gauntlet down by confirming that Beltran’s previous sign stealing team was the Yankees.
The last few paragraphs read like spin control from yankee sources.
Beltran was great in the clubhouse.
I can’t believe the Astros claim to waive executive privilege while still withholding evidence of batters wearing buzzers…

I am not sure I agree that it will get better.
“The night is always darkest before the dawn.” - Harvey Dent
You know, before he was kidnapped by a psychopath, forced to listen to the death of his love, had half his face melted off, and died without any redemption.
One bit of “good” news… Lima Time’s Altuve scoop was a hoax:
I’m saddened and angered but I still want to watch the Astros play baseball and win. I just hate every other team more than before.

Hudgens (2017 hitting coach) joins the “I wish I would have done more” brigade. https://www.sportsnet.ca/590/toronto-blue-jays-radio/dave-hudgens-regret-didnt-something-stop-astros-sign-stealing/
He did offer this nice nugget:
“We talked about a lot of different things as far as tipping and trying to relay signs from second base. We talked more about that. Actually, A.J. would get pissed when we relayed signs from 2B because they didn’t get a good secondary lead”
Aaron Boone clutches his pearls, still needs to process. Get a dog.
Yes, the Yankees are so brave. Hopefully they can make it thru this.

My anger at what I perceived as stupidity gave way to pity which gave way to fuck it–I’ve got my own row to hoe.
I hope the Astros beat the Yankees again in October. In fact, I have never wanted a team to win the World Series as much as I want the 2020 Houston Astros to do so.

Former Astro Mike Folty-whatzit decides to jump on top of the pile:
All I can tell you is that, yeah, I have paid attention to that, big time,” said Foltynewicz, an Astros first-round draft pick in 2010 who made his major-league debut with the team in 2014 before being traded to the Braves that winter. “Once more and more comes out, I think this is one of the worst things that’s happened in Major League Baseball. And it’s slowly, more and more and more — you don’t realize how many people you hurt, how many players, plus you’ve got front offices, managers, coaches, even scouts.
It was very sad to see. Every time the information comes out, I get a little shaky. Just because the beautiful game that we grew up watching, grew up wanting to play, dreamed of playing it — it just sucks to kind of see it unfold like this.
Folty apparently forgot all about the steroids era.
