LeBron: MLB’s Manfred needs to listen to players’ Astros ire

LeBron James is stepping to the plate for ballplayers furious over baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred's handling of the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scam. The four-time NBA MVP and star with the Los Angeles Lakers unleashed in two tweets Tuesday, echoing calls for harsher punishments made by baseball stars Mike Trout, Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger, among others. ''Listen I know I don't play baseball but I am in Sports and I know if someone cheated me out of winning the title and I found out about it I would be ... irate!'' James tweeted.
