Report: Astros Admit Sign Stealing to MLB, Deny Installing Special Camera

Members of the Houston Astros organization reportedly admitted to stealing signs during recent interviews with Major League Baseball.

According to SNY's Andy Martino, some of the interviewees said they had access to a live feed from a center field camera that aided in decoding signs in 2017, but they denied that any special cameras were installed for the sole purpose of sign stealing.

The Astros reportedly believed they were "in line with industry standards" because they felt other teams used technology to steal signs as well, but the practice is illegal nonetheless.
