New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez reacts after getting a base hit in the sixth inning of Sunday night's game against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. It involves at least four Red Sox players.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has made no statement on how the investigation will proceed and if there will be any penalties.

"We will conduct a thorough investigation on both sides".

Farrell said he knew the rule.

Cubs: Arrieta undergoes MRI, iffy for next start PITTSBURGH - Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta underwent an MRI on his achy right hamstring on Tuesday, and manager Joe Maddon says his team's ace could have his next start pushed back. I think maybe because it just so happened the commissioner is in town today. President of Baseball Operations for the Red Sox, Dave Dombrowski dismissed the report, telling reporters Tuesday that teams are doing whatever they can to win. The teams don't play again this season. "We've completely complied with the commissioner's office on anything that they've asked", he said.

Major League Baseball was alerted to the scheme, which included a trainer in the dugout looking down at his Apple Watch and relaying a signal to players, who may have used the information to determine the type of pitch being thrown, by the Yankees. "In one instance, Pedroia is then seen passing the information to [Chris] Young".

Since the turn of the century there have been few things more synonymous with the city of Boston than winning, In the past 15 years, the Patriots have won five Super Bowls, The Red Sox have won three World Series, and the Celtics and Bruins have won a championship apiece. And considering the best hitters in the game typically carry batting averages of around.300, meaning they only succeed about 30 percent of the time, every little bit helps.

The most famous example sign stealing was a secret for nearly a half-century.

Players are allowed to try to figure out the opponents' signals on their own. Computers, cameras and electronics are not permitted.

Major League Baseball reportedly investigated the matter and have found that the accusations are correct.

Sign-stealing in the organic fashion is frowned upon but legal in baseball. The increased usage has also put leagues on alert over how to control improprieties.

The New York Yankees filed a formal complaint against the Red Sox on July 18, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney.

In the case of the New England Patriots, who were found guilty of secretly video-taping their opponents in the 2007 "Spygate scandal", the National Football League fined the team and its coach $750,000 and stripped them of a first round draft pick.
