Did Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal just expose the Boston Red Sox as rule-breakers? Skubal appeared on the Foul Territory network on Monday and spoke with host A.J. Pierzynski about several topics, including the art of sign-stealing and the danger of tipping your pitches.

Skubal asserted that he believes sign-stealing is part of the game. However, he did note that certain teams — the Red Sox included — implement questionable tactics, particularly involving the first- and third-base coaches.

“I’m very much on it as far as not tipping my pitches,” Skubal said.
