Just when the 2022 MLB season is about to start, the Astros scandal has become a talking point after a former Astros player admitted that their 2017 World Series title is tainted. However, a Boston Red Sox star has made a shocking claim on the same incident.

Notably, with the help of sign-stealing, the Houston Astros went on to win the World Series title in the 2017 season.

There is no question about it. But, the Red Sox pitcher thinks that the Astros weren’t the only team who used sign-stealing.
