The New York Yankees and other teams felt the Houston Astros were cheating in 2017, and Boston was as well in their Championship 2018 season. In the last step in those investigations, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred made it official yesterday afternoon that cheating did go on with the Red Sox during the 2018 season.
Back in January, Manfred stunned the baseball world when he issued a report on his investigations into charges that the Houston Astros used electronic means to steal signs and relay them to hitters in various ways. Manfred stated that on November 12, 2019, former Houston Astros player Mike Fiers publicly alleged in an article published by Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic that the Astros had engaged in sign-stealing methods in 2017 that violated MLB’s rules.
