Report: Red Sox Fined for Using Apple Watches to Steal Yankees' Signs, Money to be Sent to Hurricane Relief

The Red Sox have been fined an undisclosed amount for using Apple Watches to steal signs, and the money will be sent to aid hurricane relief, reports the New York Post's Joel Sherman.

MLB said found insufficient evidence to support allegation Yankees had made inappropriate use ofYES Network to gain a competitive advantage.

The MLB decided to go relatively light with its punishment because the activity happened without the front office's knowledge, and the team immediately stopped using the technology after the Yankees submitted their report.
