This is why I think this is personal. Not personal to Manfred, but to the league. He made the league look bad in many instances and therefore they don't want to deal with him. Even if the league has more info that the general public is unaware of, I don't think a 2-year suspension is justifiable based on the evidence alone. I think his suspension is that long because, between the actions he's been accused of and because of how he's behaved since the accusations have come out, he hasn't behaved like a good MLB employee according to MLB standards.
