An Astros front office executive (identified by ESPN's Jeff Passan as Kevin Goldstein, a special assignment to GM Jeff Luhnow) sent an email to the team's scouts suggesting they use a camera to steal signs during the 2017 postseason.

"One thing in specific we are looking for is picking up signs coming out of the dugout," the email's sender wrote in a message from August of 2017. "What we are looking for is how much we can see, how we would log things, if we need cameras/binoculars, etc. So go to game, see what you can (or can't) do and report back your findings."
