Instead of being a hero, there are those who believe that Oakland Athletics pitcher Mike Fiers violated the clubhouse code.
The Astros’ scandal using electronic equipment may have shaken the baseball world, but it barely created a ripple among former players, managers, coaches and executives gathered Friday at Major League Baseball’s Dream Series in Tempe.
“I played in the steroid era, I wasn’t complaining what some of those guys were doing,’’ said LaTroy Hawkins, a 21-year veteran who is a special assistant with the Minnesota Twins. “Why are so many people upset? I look at it this way, everybody is trying to do something to gain an advantage. They had the opportunity to use technology. They did. And got caught.
Who knows how much longer it would have gone on without Fiers speaking publicly to The Athletic and to MLB investigators, exposing the Astros’ cheating technology?“I wish Fiers would have done it when he was on the Astros and not when he left,’’ Hawkins told USA TODAY Sports. “That would have more integrity.
“You got your ring and playoff check, and now you’re going to drop the dime on guys that were supposed to be your friends.Several others expressed the same sentiment as Hawkins, wondering how Fiers will be treated by opposing players, or even in his own Athletics clubhouse.
