Major League Baseball alleged umpire Angel Hernandez eavesdropped on what was supposed to be a private phone call while he and his umpiring crew were under investigation.
According to Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic, the league was investigating why there was a 14-minute delay during a game between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays last July that was umpired by Hernandez's crew.
Then-chief baseball officer Joe Torre interviewed each umpire from the game but claimed Hernandez did not get off the phone following his interview and remained on the line during the interview of umpire Ed Hickox.
