Snitches get stitches. Or, I guess in baseball, they get seams — as in a four-seamer right between the numbers the next time they step to the plate.
Some view Oakland A’s starter Mike Fiers as a snitch for his choice to tell Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic (subscription required), among others, about the Houston Astros’ illegal sign-stealing system from 2017. In the weeks since, a handful of players including current and former Astros have expressed their disdain for Fiers’ decision, either publicly or anonymously.
But that’s ridiculous. Fiers isn’t a snitch.
