if the Astros used their own cameras to steal signs there will be an issue. having said that....stealing signs…..or having signs at all is a strategy and not cheating. The MLB allows cameras to film the signs....I can sit in the stands and watch the feed on my iPhone and scream out the call if I think I am right...who knows..it may work. The Astros have not been great at home compared to on the road....not scandal worthy to say the least so if they are attempting to gain an advantage they are not good at it. If you find yourself worked up over this your team probably sucks. Once again....if the Astros placed cameras and communication devices to steal signs they need to pay a price.....it won't happen though. Every team does the same thing. Whomever had the idea had worked in many organizations and this is not a "this team or that team" idea....ready for spring season!!

If it is their own camera and wearable electronic devices, that is shameful. Seems like a lot of people have already found them guilty of the worst case scenario. Nor does anyone seem to care if other teams were doing the same.

I thought Springer had a deal already...

Yep. Correa and his 'agent' whose really not an agent... better be ready to take a hit... and not try an upsell, because hes worth more gone at this point.
Will say...if hes gone...ill miss that arm..
Looks like team is looking at a bunch of FA pitchers...
Wish they would just sign chirinos already and lock that down... making me nervous with all these other bargains at C they are trying..
