"It's sad for baseball," Trout told reporters. "You know, it's tough. They cheated. I don't agree with the punishments."

"You know, calling the World Series trophy 'a piece of metal' -- I mean, I don't know if the commissioner's ever won anything in his life," Turner said in a locker-room interview. "At this point the only thing devaluing that trophy is that it says 'commissioner' on it."

Turner added that he did not believe Manfred did enough to uncover everything the Astros may have done in the sign-stealing scheme.
