Reports: Bregman denies wearing 'stupid' devices to steal signs

In the wake of Major League Baseball’s sign-stealing scandal that has cost three managers their jobs and the Houston Astros a hefty fine and bevy of draft picks, third baseman Alex Bregman denied that he or his teammates wore any devices to help them detect which pitches were coming.

Speaking at the team’s FanFest on Saturday in his first public comments since MLB came down hard on the Astros in a ground-breaking punishment earlier this week, the two-time All-Star Bregman was understated and spoke in general terms in acknowledging the controversy — although he emphatically denied wearing any buzzer as had been rumored on social media in recent days.

The league suspended manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow for one year, fined the Astros $5 million and took away the team’s first- and second-round draft picks in 2020 and 2021. Astros owner Jim Crane promptly fired Hinch and Luhnow the same day, with the stench and connection back to the original 2017 sign-stealing scheme also costing Alex Cora and Carlos Beltran their managerial jobs with Boston and the New York Mets, respectively.

Beltran, who had just been hired to manage the Mets in November, was also named in the MLB ruling as the only specific player mentioned who helped carry out the system of cheating. He and the Mets mutually parted ways before he ever managed a game.

I have this question. If someone tell you. That they have some good news and some bad news. And they ask you which one would you want to hear first.the good news. because there's no bad news. Or the bad news because there's no good news.. if can figure it out. Share the news.

Baseball like the Olympics!

How many more will be accused? We may have no players left.

Still knew what pitches were coming Bregs. It's like in football if the D knew whether it was a run or pass...everytime. Bunch of BS. AstrosCheat

Napoleon complex

No, he's wearing smart devices to steal signs.

Wait... if he didn’t wear it, how does he know it was stupid?

Sure. We believe you. Really.

The Houston Asterisks

Too many clutch homers

ABREG_1 is probably lying. It’s obvious his team is full of cheaters. I hope every city boo’s these losers. Suspend all of them MLB . The MLB_PLAYERS can’t be cool with cheats

Let's see how he hits without knowing what pitches are coming

I guess garbage cans aren't stupid
