The "The Letter" is much to do about nothing but the Yankee front office sure is a paranoid group.

SNY Exclusive: The 'Yankee Letter' revealed
-The letter does not implicate the Yankees in a sign-stealing scheme similar to the one for which the Houston Astros were punished, when batters received the signs in real time without the help of a runner on second base.
-It does reveal -- as SNY has previously reported it would -- that the Yanks used the video replay room in 2015 and 2016 to decode sign sequences and pass them to a runner on second base, who would then relay them to the batter.
-The Yankees received a fine of $100,000 for improper use of the dugout phone, a previously unreported amount.
-The letter clears the Yankees of using YES Network cameras to steal signs, which the Red Sox alleged.
-The letter does not accuse the Yankees of sign-stealing after the crucial date of Sept. 15, 2017, when Manfred announced that from that day forward electronic sign stealing would be subject to more severe punishments. In fact, the letter does not accuse the team of stealing signs at any point during the 2017 season.
Anyone hoping that it would implicate the Yankees or Red Sox in a scandal of Astros-level proportion will be disappointed by its contents. Houston remains the only team proven to have stolen signs electronically in real time and passed them directly to the batter -- most commonly by the banging of a trash can behind the dugout. The Astros’ sign stealing by various methods extended through the 2019 season.
It suggests they tried, they just were not as inventive. |

Never let the truth get in the way of a narrative… |

I have worked for them but I ran stats and sql. They don't get involved in public relations much. We were specifically instructed to never talk to the press. They had an 800 number we could give the press to call for comment. We also were pledged to watch for suspicious criminal behavior that might indicate terrorism or drug manufacturing. For instance, thirty 20 pound barbecue cylinders outside of a home might be a meth cook. So, do the dirty work, but make sure you take no glory… 😂 |

There was a major corruption scandal, the organization I worked for stole lots of money from the government. So the suspicious criminal behavior in my organization occurred at the CEO level.
I never talked to anyone outside the agency.

" After years of speculation and failed legal arguments, the “Yankees letter” became public before Tuesday’s games began. It confirms that the Yankees’ players used the video replay room to steal signs and decode pitch sequences in 2015 and 2016 and tried to use runners on second base to relay them to the hitters. While it will not matter to fans of teams like the Astros and Red Sox, who have been punished for sign-stealing scandals, there is a difference. The Astros and Red Sox were punished for sign stealing after September 2017, when Commissioner Rob Manfred defined the rules for using the video replay room, which had just been started three years before. The allegations against the Yankees are from before that declaration from Manfred." But cashman says we never cheated. Did things the right way. What we did differently apparently was cheated differently sports.yahoo.com/baseball-reacts-release-letter-outlined-003100661.html |

No, it means nothing of the sort. It wasn't against the rules when the Yankees and probably every other team did that. That's one reason ex post facto laws are forbidden under the Constitution.
If it isn't against the rules, there's nothing to punish. So it ain't cheating. Get it?
