Nearly two years after a judge ruled that MLB’s letter containing detailed information regarding the Yankees’s electronic sign-stealing scheme must be made public, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals has reportedly denied the team’s and MLB’s requests to keep the letter private, according to Evan Drellich of The Athletic.
A lawsuit filed by daily fantasy sports players against MLB and the Red Sox alleged that commissioner Rob Manfred withheld information to the public about what the league’s 2017 investigation into the use of Apple Watches to steal signs had revealed. Manfred allegedly sent a letter to the Yankees that provided further information on the league’s findings.
