I was under the impression that they namedropped him because he was the one instance of a guy who's in a manager spot now, but was also a player at the time of the incidents, rather than naming him as a sort of implication of guilt, so they felt the need to clarify why they weren't going to punish him. I haven't read the whole statement so maybe I"m just wildly wrong but that was the impression I got just reading conversation and tweets about it. My guess was that was why they named him but really it's just a guess. MLB was super irresponsible to name him haphazardly as they did without context. It's like they singled him out but they didn't explain why (which leads me to believe it was just because they said "....players did things (including Beltran)" to specify they considered him a player, not a manager. Either way, this situation reallyfucking sucks for the Mets. While I believe firing him is the stupid and wrong thing to do because it makes no sense unless other then-players also getpenalized... like why should Beltran be penalized by his team, not MLB, while Altuve, Correa, Gurriel, Cole, Verlander, Marisnick, etc etc all get off scot-free? On the other hand, if they do decide to keep him, this is going to be such a fucking distraction all year long. it's going to come up and be asked basically daily and it's just going to leave an annoying cloud over the whole season. And the sad part is none of this at all came of the Mets doing. The Red Sox and Astros were the ones who cheated- and got rightly punished- and yet the Mets have to suffer the consequences of their cheating as well even though they were not involved whatsoever with this- they hired Beltran well before this came out. It's a lose-lose situation for them, both decisions involve more bad than good, and for once they're in a shit situation that was not their fault at all- they're being punished for something they didn't do. And of course, they haven't made a decision yet and they always let shit like this fester. Also awful of MLB for them to put a gag order on everyone about this, so the Mets basically won't even be allowed to make a statement it sounds like unless they directly are saying they're keeping or firing. This all really sucks. Fuck the Astros and Red Sox. They cheated and got World Series wins and a scandal. The Mets just got the scandal part. --- ~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion 2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS <cite>WiggumFan267 posted [p:932989730] in MLB Offsea...
