Lakeland, Fla. – Miguel Cabrera confronted his friend and Venezuelan countryman Jose Altuve and asked him if he was cheating.
Two years ago.
“We knew that (the Houston Astros sign-stealing methods) from a long time ago,” Cabrera said Monday morning. “Two years ago, we knew. So, when I asked him again this offseason, it was the same conversation we had two years ago.”
Altuve has adamantly denied charges that he wore a buzzer underneath his jersey in the ALCS last year, and he also denied that he used the sign-stealing system the Astros had in place in 2017 and 2018.
