Oakland Athletics pitcher Mike Fiers, the MLB whistleblower whose revelations about the Astros’ sign-stealing rocked the sport, on Friday made his first public appearance since three managers and one general manager lost their jobs amid the cheating scandal.
But the former Astros hurler doesn’t appear ready to discuss the fallout of his comments to The Athletic in November, which revealed Houston illegally used a camera in center field to steal pitchers’ signs.
“I don’t want this to be a distraction to them, I want them to be ready for the season,” Fiers told reporters ahead of a fan event.
