Were The Yankees Cheated? MLB Investigating Report 2017 Astros Illegally Stole Signs

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Were the New York Yankees right all along?

Major League Baseball has expanded its investigation into the Houston Astros after sports reporting website “The Athletic” reported the team allegedly stole signs during home games in 2017 by using a camera positioned in center field.

It begs the question — was New York possibly cheated out of not one, but two trips to the World Series in recent years?

The report Tuesday quoted pitcher Mike Fiers, who played for the Astros that season, and three other unidentified people with the club.
