WHY YANKS THOUGHT SOX WERE CHEATING

BALTIMORE — After the Yankees caught the Red Sox using an Apple Watch to spy on them, Boston responded by complaining to Major League Baseball it had evidence the Yankees used a YES Network camera to do the same to them.

Boston presented the Commissioner ’s Off i ce with video that allegedly showed a camera fixed on Red Sox bench coach Gary DiSarcina from a recent game at Yankee Stadium.

According to an ESPN report, the camera shot caused the Red Sox to have DiSarcina change his spot on the bench because they thought it was being used to steal signs.

A source involved with the investigation said the Yankees strongly denied the accusation, which Joe Girardi indicated on Tuesday, when he said there was “no chance” the team used YES Network cameras to spy on the Red Sox.

It’s the latest part of the saga that began when the Yankees found evidence that Boston violated MLB rules by using electronics to help swipe signs during a series last month at Fenway Park.

That l ed to an MLB investigation involving both teams that became public on Tuesday following a report in the New York Times.

The Yankees sent to the Commissioner’s Office a video clip that they claim shows a member of Boston’s training staff was using a smartphone to pass along information to play- ers during the game, which violates MLB rules.

According to sources, the Red Sox admitted to the wrongdoing following an MLB investigation and commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday that “the Red Sox have been 100 percent fully cooperative with us in this investigation.”
