    We already know the Red Sox were using Apple Watches to illegally steal signs, and the Yankees illegally used their bullpen phone and YES Network cameras to allegedly expose the Red Sox cheating. Also, Brandon Taubman got into it with Yankee officials during the 2018 season because he believed they were using their centerfield camera to steal signs, too.

    So everybody had a wink-wink deal that they wouldn't expose the other... but unfortunately they forgot to tell Mike Fiers.

    A lot of accusations flying from Yankees and Yankee ****boy...all to keep eyes off them.
    The neighboring Mets? Rival Red Sox? Team that's beaten them 3 out of the last 5 years? Have all lost their manager? Whaaa?!

    Hard to believe that this guy would make a poor choice like that.

    Everyone should have known that a guy that shapes his beard into a G-shape isn’t to be trusted.

    No worries. I’m just fed up with many people acting like the only reason the Astros have been good the past three seasons is because of electronic sign stealing. Also, every team that has electronically stolen signs deserves the same punishment the Astros received. My personal opinion is that includes pretty much all of the really good teams that rely heavily on data and analytics (Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox). In fact, we already know the Red Sox were doing it with Apple Watches.

    If you pull the image right before the shirt rip, he makes the same “don’t do it” action.

    His reluctance in the ALCS was directly due to this game.

    It wouldn't surprise me if Carlos Beltran was involved in sign stealing with the Yankees when he was with them in 2018.

    I’m just waiting for the mega bombs to drop on the Sox, Dodgers and Yankees cuz there’s no way they innocent hearing these murmurings. Then I’ll feel better.

    Nothing is going to happen unless a former player outs them. They don't want to look if they don't have to.
