This story continues to get more bizarre.

A day the New York Times broke a story revealing the Red Sox were under investigation by MLB for stealing signs with the aid of an Apple Watch, another report has surfaced.

According to CSNNE.com's Evan Drellich, the Yankees issued another complaint to MLB after Boston's 4-1 win over New York on Friday night.

Doug Fister started the game and while he was in the dugout after the Red Sox had turned to the bullpen, YES Network cameras showed Fister walking around with a clear, circular thing on his ear. The Yankees reportedly thought it was an audio device of some sort that might have aided him on the mound (despite the fact there was no video or photo proof of it there while he was pitching).

Unbeknownst to the Yankees, it was his mouthguard resting on top of his ear. Needless to say, it didn't take much investigating to figure that out, but it added to the sign-stealing saga between the two teams.
