Are Cubs at Risk if Search for Practitioners of ‘Electronic Dark Arts’ Expands?

In the interest of full disclosure, I was going to use “witch hunt” in the title before thinking better of it due to the latter-day bastardization of the phrase. That, and because teams using illicit electronic means by which to gain an advantage is a very real thing that isn’t confined to just two teams. Then there’s the notion that we’re all capable of discerning modern technology in baseball from magic. Hence, no witches.

There are, however, plenty of whiches when it comes to those practitioners of the “electronic dark arts,” as Michael Baumann of The Ringer put it.
