A newly released letter sent from the MLB to the New York Yankees in 2017 details the team's illicit use of technology during the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
In the letter, dated Sept. 14, 2017, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred informed Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman that an investigation into sign-stealing allegations found the team used electronic devices to decode and share opposing teams' signs.
The letter's release comes after the U.S. Second Court of Appeals denied the Yankees' request to keep the letter under seal earlier this month – and after the team accused the Boston Red Sox of conducting a similar scheme.
