In the eyes of Major League Baseball, members of the Houston Astros did not wear electronic devices to help them steal signs from opposing pitchers.
On Thursday, the league confirmed it "explored wearable devices during the investigation [into the Astros] but found no evidence to substantiate it," per Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com. The investigation went as far as to see if players were wearing the concealed devices to notify them of the type of pitch during the 2019 campaign.
The notion members of the Astros were doing just that picked up steam on social media Thursday when a person claiming to be Carlos Beltran's niece alleged Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman wore the buzzers under their jerseys.
