A's pitcher Mike Fiers said he's received death threats since making comments that sparked MLB's investigation into the Astros' sign-stealing scandal.
"Whatever, I don't care. I've dealt with a lot of death threats before. It's just another thing on my plate," he told the San Francisco Chronicle.
Although he's not worried about his safety, Fiers added that he's concerned for the sake of his family.
The Chronicle reports A's officials spoke to MLB vice president and deputy council Bryan Seely in January about threats made against Fiers. Commissioner Rob Manfred said on Tuesday that the league is also looking out for Fiers's safety.
