MESA, Ariz. — Retribution in the wake of the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal is expected to be handed out in the form of beanballs and brushbacks.
But Astros batters might not be the only ones with a target on their backs this season.
Error 0:
Outfielder Mark Canha is one of several A’s players who say they are concerned Oakland players will be targets of Astros pitchers looking to settle the score with A’s pitcher Mike Fiers, who publicly outed Houston’s cheating scheme.
The shots have been coming at Fiers ever since he blew the whistle on his former team over the winter.
