Jose Altuve Denies Wearing Electronic Device Under Jersey

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve issued an unqualified denial in response to speculation on social media that he used a wearable electronic aid under his jersey to steal signs.

Scott Boras, the agent for Altuve, told SI, “Jose Altuve called me and said he wants it known that he has never, ever worn an electronic device in a major league game – ever. He never received any form - of a trigger or any information - via an electronic product that was on his body or in his uniform. He has never worn any electronic device. Ever.
