Red Sox admit using Apple Watch to steal Yankees' signs

NEW YORK - The AL East-leading Red Sox have reportedly admitted to Major League Baseball that they used electronic devices to steal signs from the New York Yankees.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday the Red Sox used a high-tech Apple Watch to relay signs by the Yankees catchers during a series last month at Fenway Park.

The newspaper said the Red Sox told MLB investigators that Boston manager John Farrell, general Dave Dombrowski and other team executives were not aware of the scheme.
