The Yankees' Gary Sanchez fielded questions about the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal as pitchers and catchers reported to Spring Training on Wednesday.
When asked if the Yankees were cheated out of a World Series berth in 2017, the year New York lost in seven games to Houston in the ALCS, Sanchez said it is "hard to say."
Sanchez did acknowledge the Astros' system gave them an edge.
The Yankees lost to the Astros in Game 6 of the 2019 ALCS when Jose Altuve hit a walk-off home run on a slider from Aroldis Chapman.
