It is blatant cheating and the players should have been punished severely, This is going to get worse as legalized gambling takes off across the country and when people realize they are betting on a fixed product. MLB has butchered this whole process in my opinion because they are scared of the players union and has set a dangerous precedent going forward. It's to the point between this and steroids that we will no longer celebrate great seasons, but question if they are happening for legit reasons.
