Former A’s catcher Lucroy on Astros: ‘Every single pitch, we were changing signs’

Lucroy said Thursday at Red Sox spring training in Florida that Mike Fiers told him as a member of the 2018 Athletics that the Astros had a sign-stealing system outside the normal means for an MLB club.

“It’s kind of hard when you have a computer program that breaks your signs,” he said Thursday in his first appearance with his new club.
