Couple nice arbitration avoiding raises of note:
MLB.com
"Judge and the Yankees agreed Friday to a one-year contract worth $8.5 million, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, a figure that represents a significant raise over the star’s 2019 salary of $684,300."
"The Twins not only avoided arbitration with third baseman Miguel Sanó on Friday, but they agreed with the slugger on a three-year, $30 million extension, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. "

I’d love to see him on the Cubs but I’d be shocked if it actually happens. I just hope he doesn’t go to the Cards.
A little surprised there is not more of a financial or draft pick penalty to it. The suspensions to me aren't a huge deal. But you can really punish them by taking away money from their international signing pool and more than just what amounts to 4 total draft picks. I get it, it's their highest 2 picks in a 40 round draft where it's not a given your top picks will eventually make it to the big leagues so why not make the penalty really hurt and take away picks for the next 5 years? Maybe even put a cap on their payroll for a certain number of years too. That's where you can really make the dent is making it harder for them to stock their minor leagues with talent and limiting the money they can spend which in turn would give them a competitive disadvantage.
Think I heard that 5 million is the max fine possible due to some type of agreement.
I guess I'm kinda surprised if they found out they were cheating it wasn't more. Pete Rose got a lifetime ban for gambling, but you have an entire organization found to be cheating and two guys get a year ban?
If Cora is found to have done it for both the Astros and Red Sox give him the permanent boot. From what I gather he's the one who thought it up and put it into place for the Astros.
