The report asserted the Astros decoded signs and communicated them to batters by banging a trash can in 2017. “MLB explored wearable devices during the investigation but found no evidence to substantiate it,” the statement read. “For the sake of the game, I hope this isn’t true,” tweeted Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger, whose team lost to the Astros in the 2017 World Series. !”Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood, who pitched for the Dodgers in 2017 and re-signed with the club last week, added his take to Bellinger’s tweet. The report declared that “most of the [Astros] position players” took part in the illicit scheme along with bench coach Alex Cora.
