How do you think being named in the Mitchell report will effect current players in MLB? Will they be suspended? How will fans take to them? Will they have a harder time negotiating contracts, and will if impact their ability to demand the top dollar?

You can't punish them. You only have circumstantial evidence on many and hear-say on others. They would sue. The hit to their reputation will hurt them the most, but that will be and should be it. None of them should be kept from the HofF unless they can prove no other player used it either.

Why could desire to they be banned? Did MLB attempt all of us randomly? Are they particularly particular they have all the culprits? Are those suggested all to blame as implied? i think of baseball could desire to have pre-empted this entire unhappy episode yet are you able to confirm how lots additional funds baseball made during the steroid era? You and that i payed for it and Bud Selig and different baseball functionaries can lament all they choose yet no one is being asked to grant any money returned and no one is soliciting for the resignation of the commish. think of if this occurred in Korea or Japan. The commish would be long gone before he can rent a self-serving investigator to make it seem he cares or cared. To say sorry to the followers baseball can arise with the money for to decrease all value ticket fees in a million/2 for a twelve months and set up numerous charities to serve the general public funded via 10% of gamers' salaries. Yeah, maximum appropriate!

I doubt that any retribution can be brought down, given that the report didn't include punishment in its mandate. Furthermore, the majority of those implicated are included for their use of these substances before they were officially banned by major league baseball.
People tend to forget that using these substances did not mean a suspension or banishment until relatively recent times, and we can't punish people retrospectively.

What happens next is up to Bud Selig . He can't look the other way any longer . He should tell the union to ****-off and hand out swift punishment to all these cheaters in order to save the game .

Only the judge knows that. So whatever you hear from now until then will be Hear Say.

Their reputations are tarnished forever. Rightly so.
