Holy smokes! Manfred is not fooling around.

- GM and Manager suspended for a year.
- Astros lose first and second round picks for 2020 and 2021
- $5M fine
- Assistant GM put on the Pete Rose list (prohibited from any MLB association)

I think the suspensions and fine were too low. $5M is petty cash. The fine should have been more like $50M. Suspensions should have been at least double.

At least the owner acted with some level of integrity in firing Hinch and the GM.
