Oakland Athletics pitcher Mike Fiers says he's received death threats since going public with the Houston Astros' sign-stealing methods from his time with the team.

"Whatever, I don't care. I've dealt with a lot of death threats before," he said, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. "It's just another thing on my plate."

Fiers told Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic in November that the Astros stole signs during home games in 2017 with the use of a camera in center field.
