A years-old MLB letter to the Yankees, unsealed Tuesday, states the team's use of monitors and phones to relay signals in 2015 and 2016.
A years-old letter sent by Major League Baseball to the New York Yankees and obtained by ESPN on Tuesday details illicit use of technology that was relatively benign within the context of the sign-stealing scandals that occurred around the game at the same time.
Manfred's letter contains information about technology violations that occurred before the commissioner issued a memo to all teams in September 2017, a mandate that was regarded as a benchmark in the evolving concern about sign-stealing within the sport. Manfred warned teams that he would hold the front offices and staffers accountable for violations, and that violators faced penalties that included the possible loss of draft picks.
