Boston Red Sox catcher Jonathan Lucroy said on Wednesday he long suspected the Houston Astros were using a sign-stealing system before former Astros pitcher Mike Fiers confirmed it to him when they became teammates with the Oakland Athletics in 2018.
"I knew about that two years ago, that it was going on," Lucroy told reporters. "I know it just recently came out. Everyone in baseball [knew], especially in that division that played against them. But we were all aware of the Astros doing those things, and it was up to us to outsmart them, I guess you could say.
