ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein react to excerpts from Evan Drellich's new book about sign stealing in MLB. The book is titled, Winning Fixes Everything: How Baseball’s Brightest Minds Created Sports’ Biggest Mess.
While Astros fans are probably sick of this topic, this book also highlights how the Dodgers were accused of stealing signs by the Red Sox in the 2018 World Series.
The Dodgers have always been the thing that bothers me the most,” said a member of the Boston Red Sox, per the Boston Globe. “Because they’re the biggest cheaters in the whole [expletive] industry. … They were doing it against us in the ’18 World Series. They got caught by Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball did nothing.”
