Summary
The Chicago Cubs were caught stealing signs from the Arizona Diamondbacks during an MLB game. The act was legal but raised questions about integrity. The Diamondbacks’ manager, Torey Lovullo, and pitcher Merrill Kelly criticized the tactic. The Cubs’ third base coach, Quintin Berry, was seen tipping pitches, though he remained in his designated area. The league confirmed the action was permitted. Lovullo later apologized, while former players defended the Cubs’ actions as standard gamesmanship.
