Teams have stolen signs since the game began. That's not illegal. Spying off the TV broadcast and relaying it to the hitter is. There will be a big punishment. Manfred said the penalty would be a deterrent for teams from doing it again. If it's a slap on the wrist, then it won't be a deterrent. If I had to guess, $1 mil org fine, fine and short suspension of Farrell to start next year, and loss of first rounder in 2018

 

Nope just fines dum dum.

Sign stealing is part of the game. Speeding up the stealing of signs with electronics is against the rules. Not sure if the broadcast was involved in the sign stealing, but it's a bad thing when the sox crush it when the guy is on second. Also, having someone upstairs figuring out the sequence and being able to relay their findings into the dugout takes away the art of stealing signs and turns it into a science undertaken by guys who don't play. In the grand scheme of things, the Yankees should have known better and should have switched up their counts more frequently. That being said, the sox need to be punished heavily so no other team tries to do this again. If the punishment is a slap on the wrist, then every team will do it

Just fines LOL

Sign stealing has been with the game Has been in the game as long as there's been a game. Using an Apple Watch to relay the signals is expressly prohibited. Having the runner on 2b lean one way or the other when he knows what pitch is coming is not illegal and is actually somewhat encouraged.

 

The sox should be punished and I think this might be Farrell's Waterloo

 

Napoleon had a draw at Waterloo apparently. LOL

Good thing it was Manfred and not Torre making this decision.

After seeing Betances get nothing for beaning a Tigers player, the Sox probably would've been buried.
