Say it ain’t so!
In baseball, spying on the other team to the best of your ability is something of a time-honored tradition. But recently, the Boston Red Sox landed in some hot water for just that. Specifically, because they used outside tech (an Apple Watch) to do it.
Essentially, their trainers had been using the Apple Watch to receive replays and relay the hand signs the catcher used. They’d then relay that information to players. While there haven’t been any penalties assigned yet, it’s likely to happen eventually, unless MLB want the sanctity of the game to go completely out the window.
At the same time, though, good on them for actually finding a use for the Apple Watch.
