It looks like Beltran's job is not looking good at the moment.

I think he should be too. I almost wonder if it was his initial idea. Not that that makes it much better since enough of the other guys went with it... But if a veteran with his gravitas and resume proposed the idea, a lot of the younger guys would probably not hesitate to go along with it and not think it was too big of a deal. Beltran had been with plenty of other teams to know what all they were trying... And our core of young guys likely hadn't been exposed to as much. We'll never know. But you have to immediately question his integrity more so when he was has already outright lied about it once publicly.

This is why it's hard for me to be mad at the playersI very much want to not be disappointed with them and see if there is some adequate excuse, but so far nothing works. There are some potential factors that lessen it, but the disappointment is still there. Especially for some of the guys that I've admired for doing things the right way like Altuve, Springer, McCann, and previously Beltran.

I'm not sold on Beltran being punished. They said players would not be punished. At the time, Beltran was was a player. I see a fuzzy line being drawn.

He's not being punished by MLB, but that doesn't mean the Mets won't fire him based on the negative press and shady character that he has now been proven to demonstrate.

If longballs go back to their pre-2019 clip this season, it'll be difficult for me not to assume that everyone was using cameras last year

His role would last as long as Belichick’s with the Jets.

I sincerely doubt he will be punished. New York teams don't punish cheaters, they applaud it.
