Yesterday, October 23, the Major League Baseball executive vice president of baseball operations, Joe Torre, announced his office would be investigating the drinking accusation.
Two players, Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz, have admitted to drinking during games. They also stated they drank with Josh Beckett and John Lackey. Neither Beckett or Lackey have admitted to drinking; they have however admitted to making unspecified mistakes.
The players deny drinking in the dugout during the games, only admitting to drinking in the clubhouse. The Red Sox owner and team president have plans to look into the matter, but no consequences have been released. The MLB's investigation has not been released in detail, so it is unknown what will unfold as the investigation proceeds.
What's your opinion? What do you think should be done to the players that drank during the games?
I think its a terrible thing to happen to the Red Sox organization and to the team's top three pitchers. These players should be suspended and have to pay a fine. These players are taking advantage of the game of baseball and not caring about their team in general. Hopefully, the players will admit their mistakes and take their punishment.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brian, it's a disgrace to the Red Sox organization and the players should be ashamed and severely punished. Baseball is one of the greatest sports in America and with the drug disputes and now this it is losing its reputation.
