Report: Red Sox Illegally Used Replay Room to Steal Signs in 2018

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

Major League Baseball has yet another sign-stealing saga on its hands. Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic reported Tuesday that MLB is investigating the Boston Red Sox for improper use of the team's video replay room in 2018 to learn and then communicate opponents' pitching signs to baserunners.

In November The Athletic reported on the Astros' sign-stealing operation used during at least the 2017 season. The club is currently being investigated by Major League Baseball.

Two seasons ago the Red Sox went 108–54 and won the World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.
