- MLB investigation into sign-stealing concludes on Wednesday
- Team’s replay operator is given one-year suspension
Major League Baseball has completed its investigation into allegations the Boston Red Sox were involved in a sign-stealing operation during their 2018 World Series-winning season, suspending replay operator JT Watkins for one year and stripping the team of a second-round draft pick. The team’s former manager, Alex Cora, is suspended for the 2020 season but only for his part in the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing operation, which MLB had already investigated.
