Remember about a month ago when I said that the Boston Red Sox would be under a microscope after the news of the Houston Astros’ cheating broke out? Turns out, the Red Sox may have actually been stealing signs illegally during their 2018 championship run. Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic first broke this news.
Although most of the article is behind a paywall, the part that is free to read states that the Red Sox used the replay room to steal signs. The replay room’s purpose is for managers to look at calls by the umpires and see if they want to challenge them, and Major League Baseball made it known that it is not allowed to use this room to steal signs.
