FORT MYERS, Fla. - Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz expressed dissatisfaction with Oakland Athletics pitcher Mike Fiers, who initiated the signal theft scandal that has engulfed the sport in recent months, saying that the Astros ex-player should have said something at the time about the infamous scheme instead of waiting until he was on another team."I'm mad at this guy, the pitcher who came out talking about that," Ortiz said at JetBlue Park on Thursday. "And let me tell you why. Oh, after earning your money, after receiving your ring, you decide to talk about it. Why don't you talk about it during the season, when it was happening? Why didn't you say: I don't want to be part of that? Then, you look like a snitch. Why do you have to talk about that later? That's my problem. Why didn't anyone say anything while it happened? "Ortiz said he did not understand how someone in the Astros clubhouse did not talk before about the cheating scheme that had been developing in Houston."The Houston Astros, I know they put themselves in this situation and I still don't know why nobody said: 'That's wrong.' I just don't know how anyone said anything about it," Ortiz said. "For, not after. I was in a clubhouse for a long time and I never thought of any of that. Now, they will have to deal with it for a long time because it is not just a situation that involves the players. We are talking about everyone in the franchise".Fiers pitched for the Astros 2017 World Series before leaving for the Tigers and now pitches for Oakland. Ortiz, who is a special assistant to the general manager of Boston and is also a Fox presenter, added that he thought Commissioner Rob Manfred was receiving too much criticism for his handling of the scandal, saying he does not "agree with him receiving all the criticism".
