Next time don't use a garbage can to send signals. Use some tech in the batters' ear.
Personally, I would have liked to hit with no hints from afar.
There are reports, which MLB is staunchly denying, that the Astros used buzzers under their shirts to get signs in 2019. That may be why the Nationals were changing signals constantly in the World Series.
MLB says they investigated this allegation and it didn’t happen, but multiple sources say that it did.
A Twitter user claiming to be Carlos Beltran’s niece says they used the buzzers and specifically names Altuve and Bregman. The family says the account is not that of Beltran’s niece, but whoever it is had the news of Beltran’s hiring and his firing before it became public.
This was retweeted by a user called Jomboy, who has posted the first reports on some stories, retweeted the tweets from “Bletran’s niece,” with video of Altuve after his ALCS-winning homerun telling his teammates to be careful not to remove his shirt. (Apparently, that’s an Astros thing.) Jomboy said that he had five sources who told him about the buzzers.
Jomboy’s tweet, with the tweet from “Beltran’s niece” and the video attached, was then retweeted by Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer, who said he had heard this from multiple sources.
But MLB insists there is no evidence that they used the devices.
