J.T. Watkins has moved through the Boston Red Sox system from player to staffer, but now he's best known for his role in the team's sign-stealing scandal in 2018.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced Wednesday Watkins will be suspended through the 2020 playoffs after an investigation determined he "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."
The video replay system operator also will not be able to return to the replay room in 2021.
