MLB will be tapping bullpen phones:
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that, in an effort to stanch this kind of behavior, MLB is installing new phones in every dugout, and the league will also now record all conversations that take place on those dugout phones. Rosenthal goes on to explain the thinking behind this new measure:
To avoid detection in the new climate, a player who steals signs by watching video in the replay room will need to walk to the dugout and relay the sign to the runner on the second base, who then would signal to the hitter at home plate — a much more laborious process than simply conveying sign-stealing information by phone.
While they are at it, maybe they should assign armed security guards to each player to make sure they don’t use PEDs. This is getting kind of ridiculous.
