U.S. District Court judge Jed Rakoff ruled Friday the New York Yankees must unseal a letter they received from MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred in 2017 about findings in a sign-stealing investigation that led to an undisclosed fine.
Jonathan Schiller, a lawyer representing the Yankees, told Evan Drellich of The Athletic the team disagrees with the decision since the case was previously dismissed, though the plaintiffs have appealed that earlier decision with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"There is no justification for public disclosure of the letter," Schiller said.
