If you needed any more proof that Matt Chapman is the future face of the Oakland A’s, we got it on Wednesday afternoon. In a bizarre situation, the rookie was ejected during an at-bat for the crime of calmly denying that his team was stealing signs from the opponent. Let’s take a closer look!
Sign stealing was already in the news this week. The Red Sox were caught spying on the Yankees, but the reason it broke baseball’s official rules was because it involved some extra technology. In this case, the Angels (led by catcher Juan Graterol) only accused the A’s of peeking at the catcher whilst at the plate.
