The Los Angeles Laker criticized Manfred's handling of the scandal and urged him to take action and fix things for the 'sake of sports.'
revealed the Astros had illegally used technology to decipher their opponents' signs during the 2017 season when the team won the World Series. The signs were then relayed to Houston batters in real time by banging on a garbage can.
But players escaped punishment while the team was fined a record $5 million and lost its first and second round picks in the 2020 and 2021 draft. Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch were suspended for the 2020 season and were subsequently fired by team owner Jim Crane. "The desire to have actual discipline imposed on them, I understand it and in a perfect world it would have happened," he said in a wide-ranging interview with ESPN."We ended up where we ended up in pursuit of really, I think, the most important goal of getting the facts and getting them out there for people to know it."
Manfred, who also came under fire for describing the World Series trophy as a"piece of metal," said the league had considered the option of revoking the title but had chosen not to proceed as it was mindful of creating a potentially dangerous precedent.
