No players were disciplined by Major League Baseball in the Astros' investigation. While Mets manager Carlos Beltran was part of it, he was a player at the time and thus was not suspended.
Discipline for Red Sox manager Alex Cora is coming. It is going to be harsh, per sources.

They asked the owner if this tainted the championship and he said “absolutely not”.
Luhnow and Hinch getting fired coupled with the loss of picks are big blows. Coupled with the other changes the Astros had in their FO, this could be a major turning point in their franchise, which is prooobably what the MLB was hoping for. [Reply]

I don't know why Boston owns pro sports. They controlled the mitchell report and, surprise, barely any high profile red Sox were implicated. Then there's the mysteriously timed paul Byrd hgh news right before game 7 of a playoff game. [Reply]
