West, Guillen, And Buehrle Fined For Balk Debacle, Avoid Suspensions

Following Wednesday’s incident, we now know the nature of umpire Joe West’s punishment: he’s been fined, but he’ll be spared a suspension.

A person familiar with the decision tells the Associated Press that there weren't any suspensions. The amount of the fines imposed Friday was not known.

Likewise, Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and pitcher Mark Buehrle, have been fined but not suspended. There’s bound to be a reaction from Sox fans, so for more, head on over to SB Nation’s own South Side Sox.
