MLB Releases Its Report On 2018 Red Sox; Only One Person Is Punished: The Video Replay System Operator Is Suspended For 2020 And 2021

MLB has released its findings from its investigation into sign-stealing by the 2018 Red Sox. Commissioner Rob Manfred's Executive Findings states:

Following an exhaustive investigation into allegations of improper use of the video replay room by the Boston Red Sox, I have come to the following conclusions:

* I find that J.T. Watkins, the Red Sox video replay system operator, on at least some occasions during the 2018 regular season, utilized the game feeds in the replay room, in violation of MLB regulations, to revise sign sequence information that he had permissibly provided to players prior to the game.
