Boston receives a fine for using electronics to steal signs from the Yankees:
The Red Sox have received a slap on the wrist from Major League Baseball for using an electronic device to steal signs from the New York Yankees.
The team was fined an undisclosed amount by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred on Friday. The funds will be donated by the commissioner’s office to hurricane relief efforts in Florida.
The Yankees accused the Red Sox of using an Apple Watch in the dugout as a means of relaying information to players in the dugout regarding the Yankees’ signs. The sign-stealing spat was first reported by the New York Times on September 5.
ADVERTISINGMLB investigated the claims with video and “corroborated the Yankees’ claims.”
So MLB doesn’t seem to think this is too serious. It will be interesting to see what happens the next time a team gets caught. This wasn’t much of a warning shot.
