What what the possible ramifications of this cheating could be, the loss of a few games maybe ....

They have to give up some prospects.

So the 16-3 win by the Orioles might have been 16-0 if the Red Sox had not been stealing signs.

I think all wins by the Red Sox and Yankees against the Orioles should be required to be forfeited to the Orioles as punishment.

Are the Sox taking pointers from Belichek? Didn't the Patriots make similar claims that "other teams do it too"? I'm sure the Yankees and Red Sox both will be harshly punished by MLB.

Just like Sanchez.

Which makes you wonder: how many other teams were involved??

Would you be surprised if it were all of them?

Did you hear Duquette emphasizing that the Orioles are very "vigilant" in order to compete?  What are they being vigilant about?

The Red Sox tried this with the Orioles starters with sending out pitch location but then they realized that Ubaldo, Tilman, and Miley have no idea where the ball is going and most the time when the catcher set up inside and the relayed it to the hitter those three missed the spot by 2 feet and it ended up right down the middle.

This is not as bad as the Cardinals hacking scandal, IMO, and that resulted in the Cardinals forfeiting their top two draft picks to Houston and a $2,000,000 fine. No way Boston has to give up draft picks directly to New York, so probably just a fine and maybe losing some international bonus money.

Hellickson was pitching that day.

Too bad, he might have had a shutout.

Both teams were fined, the Red Sox more so than the Yankees.
