Yu Darvish joined the litany of current players speaking out against the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal when he told reporters last week that perhaps Carlos Correa “shouldn’t talk” right now. More than just a general expression of playing the game the right way, Darvish was directly impacted by the scheme during his time with the Dodgers. And while he was still able to net a decent contract in the aftermath, several other pitchers weren’t as fortunate.
There’s also some cultural context to Darvish’s criticism, as he explained to Dylan Hernández of the Los Angeles Times.
