It's going to be very interesting to watch what happens when MLB finally comes down on the guys they've I.D.'ed for PED's. Some will get 50 game suspensions; some, 100 games, the difference based (as I understand it) on the type and number of infractions.
And then there will be legal challenges. These players aren't going to sit still for losses adding up to millions of dollars based on what Bosch says. His credibility - poor to start with - will be challenged every which way. I expect the civil courts to be involved as some players sue for loss of livelihood. And the appeals within baseball's own system are likely to go on for a long time.
The owners will probably get involved if players from contending teams are suspended, particularly if the suspensions of players in competing teams receive suspensions of different lengths. (i.e. 50/100) "Why did my guy get 100 games when my competitor's player got 50 games?"
This will inevitably become a huge mess, damaging the sport almost as much as the PED's themselves. What a shame. Baseball is such a beautiful game.
