Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz has finally weighed in on his former club's involvement in MLB's sign-stealing scandal and has tried to find the delicate balance between supporting his ex-teammates and condemning their actions.

"Players are always trying to figure out things from the opposition, whatever they can get to help to win, they will go for it," Ortiz told USA Today's Jesse Yomtov. "Sometimes people cross the line, like what just happened."

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has yet to assess any punishment for Boston as the investigation into the team's actions remains under investigation.
