Oakland Athletics outfielder Tony Kemp, who joined the 2017 Houston Astros for their stretch run to the World Series title in September of that year, told reporters Friday that he did not participate in the team's sign-stealing scheme.
"Once I got there in September, the system was already in place, and I just tried to keep my head down and play hard and not really concern myself with it," Kemp said, per the Associated Press.
Kemp said that he was asked if he wanted to be part of the scheme when he was called up but chose not to participate.
