Blue Jays Livid After Rays OF Kevin Kiermaier Takes Card With Team's Pitching Plan

It looks like we may have another ethics discussion brewing in baseball.

With the memory of the Astros's sign-stealing scandal still very fresh in the minds of players and fans alike, the Rays and Blue Jays have themselves mired in a conflict centered on gaining the upper hand. This time, it's Tampa Bay's Gold Glove center fielder Kevin Kiermaier who's the focal point of the discussion.

During Monday's game, Kiermaier scored in the sixth inning after sliding to avoid the tag of Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk. On the tag attempt, a card fell out of Kirk's armband and landed directly in front of Kiermaier, who was still on the ground.
