This is probably the most accurate piece written to date on this whole fiasco.
It is sad and weird that a Canadian reporter understands the nuances of America’s game better than all the Yankee apologists in the media that are driving this train.
ETA: Okay I read it wrong, he’s from Vancouver Washington so he’s not a Canadian.
Excellent piece
Beltran is the latest victim of fake outrage: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28496773/sources-carlos-beltran-stepping-mets-manager
Cora apparently has pointed a finger at Beltran and NYY.
Based on the post-London press conference video or was this done more recently and directly?
“Beltran’s niece” went on Twitter claiming that Altuve and Bregman had wearable buzzers on their shoulders. Which wouldn’t mean much, except Gary Sheffield Jr then jumped in and claimed that was a current player’s burner account.

Old video, I think. Not recent.
There’s a picture going around of Reddick in a post game interview and he appears to have a wire taped to his chest.
If the buzzer thing is real, Reddick will be Exhibit A in calling into question its efficacy.
So now the deep fakes will come streaming in like the effluvia of a backed up sewer.
That, and now the accepted theory of why Altuve didn’t want his jersey torn off after the pennant winning HR this past year is because he was wired and ripping his jersey off would have exposed it.
If that is true about Altuve and others wearing a damn wire, then they all deserve all the shit they are about to get hit with. I mean come the fuck on!! That would be beyond the pale of anything they should have been doing. They know better. Hopefully we get some confirmation on that one way or the other. I’m certainly hoping this is just internet fodder.
Some of the sleuth work on the buzzers is terrific. But Sherman is reporting that "MLB explored wearable devices during the investigation but found no evidence to substantiate it.” That investigation, MLB said, includes 2019.
He has a necklace on, and there’s a piece of gold confetti ribbon stuck to his left pec.
Good work, internet sleuths. Now go find Jimmy Hoffa.

Thanks for that info. If any of them were wearing wires to the plate…SMDH
Come on…Jomboy confirmed it was a buzzer…just like the one Robinson Chirinos wore on his thumb…and like the laptop masquerading as the lid to a box of baseballs. Nothing gets passed that guy.
Besides, any buzzer would have either a battery pack or be powered by a hearing aid/camera sized battery. And these guys get dressed and undressed around Evan Drellich and Ken Rosenthal a lot. C’mon.
Clevinger joins Bauer and Rose ripping the Astros.
Clevinger and Bauer are really good friends. Him ripping the Astros and having his panties in wad over the issue should come as no surprise.
