Dodgers manager Dave Roberts on Wednesday denied that his team used an illegal sign-stealing system in 2017 and 2018, an accusation made by sources in a just-released book.
,” Evan Drellich’s wide-ranging book released this week that detailed the Houston Astros’ 2017 sign-stealing scandal.eighth-year manager flatly denied the accusations made in the book by various anonymous sources against his team for their own alleged sign-stealing transgressions.
Another anecdote shared by an unnamed opposing player alleged the Dodgers stationed players in their video room during games to try to decode signs — including a rumored exchange witnessed by MLB official between then-Dodgers Joc Pederson and Chase Utley during the 2018 World Series. The Dodgers never received any punishments related to the allegations made in the book. And on Wednesday, Roberts said the Dodgers engaged only in legal methods of sign-stealing during the seasons in question, such as having baserunners pick up a catcher’s sign and then signal them to the hitter at the plate.
Roberts also said that since MLB issued stricter rules banning the use of electronic sign stealing in 2018, the Dodgers have adhered to the new standards.
