Yankees expected to fight judge’s order to have 2017 letter from MLB over team’s own sign stealing unsealed

Members of the Houston Astros took not-so-subtle jabs at the New York Yankees on Saturday morning.

The Yankees were all too happy to talk about the Astros sign stealing this spring. They were indignant and vocal after MLB confirmed long-held suspicions that Houston was illegally using electronics to steal signs and relaying them to the hitters in real-time. Having lost to the Astros in the American League Championship Series in 2017 and 2019, the Bombers — along with the Dodgers — were considered the victims of what the Astros had done.

However, The letter itself may not be unsealed until June 19 in order for the Yankees to file an emergency appeal.
