Oh, have you been doing detailed research? Show us, then, how it worked in 2018 and 2019, even though the report specifically says nothing was found for 2019.

That’s why they went with Beltran’s plan to “update the system” based on what he already knew from NYY. Everyone learns each others’ tricks when players join new teams. Even MLB Front Office knew. But it’s a business so they handled internally, until Fiers created a PR mess going to The Athletic.

2018 decoding stopped very early in the season because it no longer helped.
November 12, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Your statement lost all validity with “through 2019.” The 2018 (and road) sign stealing was just staff decoding that everyone says is ok, since their team did it. Not realtime. Trash can banging stopped on Sept 21, weeks after the MLB memo, against CWS bc they were heard by the pitcher.
November 12, 2025 at 4:52 PM
For game 5? There were no trash cans there. If anything, they stole signs with runners on base. Astros also had to change signs with no one on base because they understood that the contenders all had used electronics during the year, which is why the memo came out in mid September. League-wide.

Actually, Astros confessing under immunity was done to protect league-wide cheating, in a domino effect of players outing other players. You may call it getting a slap on the wrist, but it saved your favorite teams.

Tell him to use multiple signs with people on base. He’s the only pitcher that didn’t. He said himself. This is loser mentality to win 3 WS after losing 8 years ago AND 7 years ago, but still bring up 8 years ago without any facts.

FWIW, I do appreciate the open, thoughtful response. Much more than the internet usually gives. 🤝

Jeter is The Captain, Nike honored him with a Re2pect campaign. Mookie’s in the same spot as Altuve. Altuve didn’t put himself above his team bc he’s a humble teammate. Just asking to stick to facts. Beltran brought the system from NYY, he’s on a HOF path. Altuve hated it but Cora pushed. Impotent.
November 3, 2025 at 11:08 PM
None of it is on Altuve. That’s like saying Jeter is responsible for half the Yankees juicing. Neither participated.
November 3, 2025 at 9:37 PM
It is.
November 2, 2025 at 4:56 AM
Reddick and Altuve (and Kemp) didn’t cheat at all.
November 2, 2025 at 1:52 AM
Nope

Is it connected to him and taped to his leg because that’s where he goes to the bathroom
November 1, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Should play for the Spurs

Pitching lights out

The way this is always the first reply is so Pavlovian.
November 1, 2025 at 6:09 PM
He hit 4 of his 5 World Series home runs at Dodger Stadium in 2017. Frowned upon.
November 1, 2025 at 4:52 PM
Cool, now he just needs the LA Kings so he can gaslight fans into thinking that’s what he meant by an ICE detention center
October 30, 2025 at 7:07 PM
Has he ever lived inside an actual city? He’s applying suburban conveniences to general housing.
October 29, 2025 at 5:49 PM
Nice headline. Former Dodgers Outfielder, too.

Investigate all of the teams

They stopped after the Farquhar game, according to data. And it didn’t blow up because MLB is a business. They were going to handle internally until Fiers forced damage control. Unchecked, it had the potential to take down players on a lot of teams. That’s why immunity was negotiated by MLBPA.
August 9, 2025 at 4:18 AM
You wouldn’t have given them immunity and then they wouldn’t have fessed up. And they would’ve ratted out the rest of the teams
August 9, 2025 at 12:30 AM
No one else will say it because it’s unpopular. Doesn’t make it wrong. MLB Players say it, though. They know how bad it got league-wide. Including LA.
