It's been a wild and unprecedented week in Major League Baseball.

The firing of Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch kicked it all off. The departures of Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora and New York Mets skipper Carlos Beltran from their respective clubs took things a step further. But nothing could prepare players - or social media - for the subsequent allegations that some Astros players used a buzzer system attached to their bodies in order to relay signs.

Of course, social media was enthralled by all the conspiracy theories, providing plenty of entertainment. Here are the 10 best tweets from players around the league over the last 48 hours.

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman - who gave up Jose Altuve's series-clinching home run - just wants to sit back and watch.

3. ๐Ÿ“ต

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez just got here. I'm sure teammate Mike Clevinger can fill him in ...

2. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ๐Ÿ’ช
