Red Sox sign-stealing controversy is being blown out of proportion

Alex Cora has come under fire again for a sign-stealing controversy. He was at the center of the firestorm that erupted when MLB launched an investigation into the Houston Astros for positioning a camera in the outfield to record signs during his time as the bench coach for the organization. Now the Boston Red Sox are being scrutinized for their misuse of video replay for the same intention.

According to Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic, the Red Sox have been accused of allowing players to visit the video replay room during games to learn the sign sequence of opponents.
