Major League Baseball recently concluded its investigation into the Boston Red Sox for potential sign-stealing during their 2018 World Series run, and like the Houston Astros the year before, they were found guilty as misconduct.
The Red Sox’s cheating was deemed not as egregious as the Astros, as the only person held responsible was video replay system operator J.T. Watkins, who was given a one-year suspension.
The only other penalty for Boston was the loss of a second-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, and a one-year suspension for former manager Alex Cora, although that was for his role in the Astros’ scandal.
