"They were relaying (pitches)...And it's fair game, the whole Major League Baseball knows the Yankees are good when they got something. I'm not the only one that's going to say it. Maybe I'm the only one's going to say it publicly, but we got to do a better job of making sure we're not giving anything away."
"You can you get my changeup out of my glove from first base. Something we've known. It's not just the Yankees. We know across the league guys can do that. I've had multiple people tell me that so I thought I had addressed it, thought I had made the proper adjustment to get my glove in front of my face. But, clearly, I hadn't. That's part of the game. It's 2025. Everybody knows it, we live it, that's just part of the game."
The Yankees relayed pitch information during the game, apparently stealing signs to identify Max Scherzer's changeup from first base. Toronto lost 4-3 in the Bronx, dropping the final two games of the three-game set. Team leadership emphasized the need to prevent giving opponents actionable information and to improve on-field signal concealment. The pitcher attempted adjustments to hide the changeup by positioning his glove but acknowledged the change was not fully effective. Sign-stealing awareness is described as a league-wide reality in 2025, increasing urgency for better protective measures ahead of possible postseason meetings.
