For the first time since MLB released the results of its investigation into the Astros' sign-stealing operation, Oakland A's pitcher Mike Fiers, who was the initial player to go on the record with The Athletic detailing the scheme, addressed the situation.
"I said what I said, but we’re moving forward. I don’t want to be a distraction to this team," Fiers said at a local media event. "That’s my main goal. I want everyone to focus on the season at hand and be ready for Spring Training and eventually the season.”
He didn't specifically address the Astros cheating scandal, potentially, as the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser notes, at the request of MLB.
