He belongs to the union that would fight tooth and nail for the Astros players! It’s not all on MLB, the MLBPA is a huge part of why the Astro players got no punishment and Markakis belongs to that union. Which never made sense to me, because pitchers are part of the union too and they are the ones that had their stats, $$$ and careers affected by the cheatin ‘stores.

The players union thinks it did a good job defending the cheaters. What they don't realize is that they hurt the large number of players who didn't cheat.

Plus it hurts the integrity of the game that will wind up hurting player salaries.

Typical shortsighted union nonsense.

Manfred came out today and said he first asked the union if he could grant some players immunity so he could get first hand testimony to actually punish other players if it was warranted. The MLBPA insisted that he give blanket immunity to all players. So all these players that so outraged that no players were punished can take a long hard look in the mirror. What are they, helpless in the hands of their own union? It’s completely laughable.

They have to be one of the most powerful union bodies in the world, pound for pound, and they are acting like Manfred pushed for no punishment for their fellow union members.
