The union opposes any player punishment. That's kind of it's mandate. A handful of them are speaking out but I'm sure they would have preferred this staying under the rug. But at some point if you're getting asked about this 100 times a day you're going to say something other than "no comment" or you're going to start looking guilty yourself.

I don't think "everybody does" what the Astros did, to that extent at least, but I'd guess most players at least know of some kind of illegal sign-stealing scheme either on a team they were on, or something they heard from another player. Players and coaches change teams a lot, and there are SO many rumors you can dig up from various teams over the years.
