Report: Managers Alex Cora, Carlos Beltran Involved in Astros’ Sign Stealing

Major League Baseball’s investigation into the Astros sign stealing from 2017 is likely going to include at least three current MLB managers.

According to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich, Red Sox manager Alex Cora and recently hired Mets manager Carlos Beltran both played a “key role in devising the sign-stealing system the team used that season” while they were a part of Houston manager A.J. Hinch’s team.

Earlier this week, The Athletic reported that the Astros reportedly stole signs in 2017. For that story, The Athletic spoke to four sources who worked with the Astros in 2017, including pitcher Mike Fiers, who said the club stole signs during home games that season with the help of an outfield camera.
