MLB has entered into a marketing agreement with draft kings and allowed Oakland to move to Las Vegas, in the name of making money, not in the name of upholding the integrity of baseball. MLB has dirty hands and the writers should know this and not keep players out for doing what they can to win and do the best for their careers.

You make the same faulty argument every time this issue comes up. Somehow thinking the flaws just disappeared from your take.

Just because they weren't checking doesn't mean they can't feel the consequences if it becomes known. Hwy Patrol may not be able to stop me for not having my seat belt on, but if they stop me for speeding & see I don't have it on, they can still cite me for it. Doesn't matter if the MLB didn't check McGwire. The HOF voters can still keep him out w/the knowledge post his career.

And baseball was never inconsistent w/their stance on gambling when Rose was exiled. WHEN ROSE NEGOTIATED HIS EXILE. He bargained for his banishment cause his ego couldn't stand being exposed any further than he was.
