Rob Manfred has redirected some of the baseball world’s anger at the Astros. Unfortunately, for the commissioner the pitchforks are pointed at him now, too.

Manfred has drawn the ire of fans and players for his explanations as to why the Astros players were not punished and why the team was not stripped of its 2017 World Series championship. Those comments included Manfred calling the World Series trophy “a piece of metal” on Sunday.

“I don’t know if the commissioner has ever won anything in his life,” Dodgers infielder Justin Turner told the Los Angeles Times on Monday. “Maybe he hasn’t. But the reason every guy’s in this room, the reason every guy is working out all offseason, and showing up to camp early and putting in all the time and effort is specifically for that trophy, which, by the way, is called the commissioner’s trophy.

“So for him to devalue it the way he did [Sunday] just tells me how out of touch he is with the players in this game. At this point the only thing devaluing that trophy is that it says ‘commissioner’ on it.”

Turner and the Dodgers lost that World Series in seven games to the Astros, part of a string of painful postseason failures for the championship-starved franchise. Dodgers players have been among the most outspoken with their Astros anger, led by 2019 NL MVP Cody Bellinger.

Manfred gave the Astros players immunity for revealing the details of the sign-stealing scheme they used in 2017 en route to the franchise’s first World Series. Manager A.J. Hinch and GM Jeff Luhnow were suspended for a season then fired by owner Jim Crane. The team also lost draft picks and was fined $5 million.

Turner questioned the thoroughness of the investigation that found the Astros cheated in 2017 and parts of 2018, but not in 2019. Some have accused Houston of using buzzers in light of Jose Altuve’s bizarre ALCS celebration that had him screaming at teammates not to rip his jersey off.

“I think it all comes down to everyone keeps saying, ‘The facts, the facts. You don’t know the facts. These are the facts,’” the 35-year-old ex-Met said. “I don’t think anyone knows the facts. I think everyone just wants to hear all the facts. And I think that the commissioner didn’t do a good job of revealing all the facts to us. I still think there’s some stuff we don’t know.”

Manfred has said that the investigation needed player cooperation to succeed and he would not have gotten that if he did not give the players immunity. Like others, Turner fears that sets a “weak precedent” going forward and will invite other players to attempt to cheat.

“Now anyone who goes forward and cheats to win a World Series, they can live with themselves knowing that, ‘Oh, it’s OK. . . . We’ll cheat in the World Series and bring the title back to LA. Screw Dave Roberts and screw Andrew [Friedman],” Turner said of the Dodgers manager and team president. “‘It’s just those guys losing their jobs. I still get to be called a champion the rest of my life.’ So the precedent was set by him yesterday in this case.”
