Beltrán: “Looking back now—yes, we did cross the line.”
Apr 4, 2022
In his first public comments on the matter, former Astros outfielder Carlos Beltrán admitted that what the team did during its 2017 sign-stealing scandal “did cross the line.” Beltrán, now an analyst for the YES Network, discussed Houston’s cheating scandal in a sit-down interview with colleague Michael Kay.
“Looking back now—yes, we did cross the line,” Beltrán said. “I made my statement about what happened in 2017, and I apologized … This happened in such an organic way for ourselves. We all did what we did. Looking back today, we were wrong. I wish I would have asked more questions about what we were doing, I wish the organization would have said to us, ‘What you guys are doing, we need to stop this.’ Nobody really said anything—we’re winning.
Beltrán was one of the people who helped come up with the team’s sign-stealing plan, which connected a camera in center field to a video screen located in the tunnel near the Houston dugout. Players and staff would signal pitches to batters in real time by banging a trashcan with a bat.in 2019, Beltrán said that the team did not use electronic methods to steal signs, which was later proven false.
Former Astros and current Tigers manager A.J. Hinch, Red Sox manager Alex Cora and Astros president Jeff Luhnow all lost their jobs as well.
