Major League Baseball's investigation into sign-stealing by the Boston Red Sox may not reveal as serious instances of cheating as what was uncovered with the Houston Astros.

According to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman, the league's examination of sign-stealing tactics in Boston is nearing its conclusion and hasn't found transgressions that raise to the level of brazenness Houston showed. That's not to say there haven't been repercussions for the Red Sox or that more aren't on the way.

In the wake of the report on the Astros, Boston fired manager Alex Cora after MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred detailed the ways in which he aided the scheme.
