Toronto Blue Jays bench coach Dave Hudgens, who was the Houston Astros' hitting coach during their 2017 World Series-winning season, apologized for failing to take action during his ex-team's sign-stealing scheme.

Hudgens, who worked under manager AJ Hinch from 2015-18, spoke exclusively with John Lott of The Athletic on Wednesday after talking with reporters in a scrum at the Blue Jays' spring training in Dunedin, Florida.

He also discussed ex-Houston Astros outfielder Carlos Beltran and the possibility of the system being used in last year's playoffs.
