At any rate, if the baseball season is cancelled I'm fine with Manfred getting ALL the blame - deserved or not - given the way he completely bungled (and continues to bungle) the Astros scandal.

I'm down with the idea that the players are to blame for their actions, because they are grown men after all, but I also think the league hasn't done enough to enforce the rules both sides agreed on.
