Red Sox sign-stealing punishment is nothing compared to Astros
The Red Sox were no Astros in the opinion of MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.
The commissioner ruled Wednesday that in response to the Red Sox’s sign-stealing during their 2018 championship season, the team’s video replay system operator is the only current Red Sox person penalized. That person, J.T. Watkins, is suspended for the entire 2020 season and postseason.
Boston also loses its second-round pick in this year’s draft.
