Hinch and Luhnow being management should have had the integrity to say no to the players. They didn't so they pay the price. I'm not shocked that Manfred didn't take on the PA one year before negotiations start on a new CBA. Disappointed that he didn't at least apply token fines up to the maximum allowed under the CBA for "actions detrimental". I'd bet that some sort of clause will be added to future CBA's or maybe standard player contracts spelling out punishment for cheating in this manner.

Speaking of cheating can one assume that all Astro players now, shall we say convicted, will be left off ballots for awards and the HoF?
