Genuinely curious to see what the letter from Rob Manfred to the Yankees about alleged sign-stealing from 2015-17 says. It will, as ⁦‪@EvanDrellich‬⁩ reported, be redacted, but the Yankees acknowledging its unsealing would cause “significant reputational injury” is quite interesting.

⁦‪@EvanDrellich‬⁩ Astros fan schadenfreude is in full blossom this morning, and I get it. Thing is, if all Yankees allegations predate MLB’s September 2017 Apple Watch letter, MLB wouldn’t have come down on them the same way it did Houston. That has been the line of disciplinary demarcation.

⁦‪@EvanDrellich‬⁩ Is that fair or right? Were the Astros singled out? I suppose we’ll have to wait for details. If what the Yankees did in action and deed was anything close to Houston’s — there’s no evidence to this point it was — they deserve to have to book thrown at them just the same.
