Former Red Sox P Joe Kelly frustrated with cheating investigation

The Boston Red Sox still have no answers about Major League Baseball's investigation into their alleged cheating scandal, and one former pitcher is getting pretty frustrated.

Current Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, and 2018 World Series champion, Joe Kelly thinks the results should've already been announced ... especially with the 2020 campaign on hold. 

“The whole thing is a debacle to me,” Kelly said of the 2018 World Series on WEEI, according to Peter Botte of the New York Post. “Now sitting at this point with no baseball being played and no results on an investigation, I just feel like, ‘Was I dreaming? Is there actually an investigation? It’s like the “Boogeyman” series, what’s the deal with this thing?’

“From the get-go I just thought it was laugh-out-loud funny. Now that this is the last thing on people’s mind obviously with how the world is right now, whenever the investigation is done, I’m interested in seeing what is in the investigation.”

While MLB commissioner Rob Manfred says the investigation has concluded, they will not reveal the results until baseball can resume following the coronavirus outbreak.

It'll be interesting to see what MLB has concluded, but Kelly has insisted the Red Sox didn't cheat through the 2018 season.

“We should have not even lost an inning if there was some good cheating involved, which would have been a lot more fun because we would have won in four," Kelly said. "We would have swept through the playoffs and made it really, really fast and been able to go to Hawaii or go to Mexico and go on vacation a lot sooner than we did.”

The Houston Astros received the results of their investigation a while ago and were fined $5 million on top of losing their 2020 and 2021 first- and second-round draft picks. A.J. Hinch and Jeff Luhnow were also banned for one year, and were later fired.

The Red Sox aren't expected to receive as harsh a punishment, but they definitely will receive some sort of slap on the wrist.
