Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez believes Major League Baseball’s investigation into the 2018 Red Sox sign-stealing scandal will show no wrongdoings.
“I’m excited for the investigation to get over with, just so they can see there was nothing going on here,” Martinez told reporters on Saturday at the team’s Winter Weekend fan festival in Springfield.
When asked if the team was innocent of the alleged charges, Martinez said, “I believe that, yes.”
The right-handed hitter, who has launched 79 home runs in two seasons with the Red Sox, was adamant The Athletic’sreport that indicated the team used video to relay signs to runners on the bases was not accurate.
