Report: Rays' Kiermaier grabs Blue Jays' pitching-plan card, team refuses to give it back

The Tampa Bay Rays might have found a less creative and less subtle way of cheating than the Houston Astros scandal.

During the sixth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night, Rays centrefielder Kevin Kiermaier slid into home plate and found a card that reportedly fell out of Toronto catcher Alejandro Kirk’s pocket. That card had the team’s game plan for how to handle Tampa Bay’s hitters.

The video makes it look even more mischievous.

The Blue Jays are not happy.
