The Houston Astros sign stealing scandal is one of the most notorious and dubious plots in MLB history. More information regarding the Astros’ cheating has been revealed, from someone who saw Houston’s actions firsthand.
Evan Gattis was a member of the Astros in 2017, when they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. It was later revealed that Houston was stealing the opposing team’s signs. Numerous members of the Astros organization faced severe punishment. Gattis fully admits that the Astros stole signs. However, the former catcher recently claimed in an interview that other MLB teams were aware of what Houston was doing.

“People who knew we were cheating and created signs that nobody might decipher,” Gattis said, was one of the craziest things during the sign-stealing scandal. “I respect pitchers and catchers.”

In the followingmath of the Houston controversy, rumors surfaced that José Altuve was carrying a buzzer that would tell him exactly what pitch was coming. Gattis was not aware that sounds were being used. But if there were, he’s not sure Altuve would be the right candidate. “I don’t know if there’s any truth to the sounds,” Gattis continued. “If there was, Altuve wouldn’t want him anyway. He’s a reaction hitter.”
