One week before Apple was expected to announce a new Apple Watch—an update to a device that has struggled for years to gain traction with consumers, though it recently saw a boost in sales—the company received a fortuitous and unexpected bit of press. The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Major League Baseball is investigating the Boston Red Sox for allegedly stealing hand signs from catchers on opposing teams—and using an Apple Watch to do so.

The New York Yankees caught onto the technologically aided sign-stealing practice in August, the Times reported, following a series the Yankees played against the Red Sox in Boston’s Fenway Park. According to the Yankees’ complaint, which hearkens back to Spygate, a controversy involving a different New England sports team, Red Sox training staff would monitor instant-replay video and watch to see what signs the opposing catcher was giving to his pitcher, quickly relaying that to team members in the dugout, where players would be told information about upcoming pitches. Per the Times:

The video provided to the commissioner’s office by the Yankees was captured during the first two games of the series and included at least three clips. In the clips, the team’s assistant athletic trainer, Jon Jochim, is seen looking at his Apple Watch and then passing information to outfielder Brock Holt and second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who was injured at the time but in uniform. In one instance, Pedroia is then seen passing the information to [player Chris] Young.

When confronted by the commissioner’s office, the Red Sox reportedly confessed but then retaliated with their own counter-allegation against the Yankees, claiming the team had used a TV camera to steal signs at Fenway. Sign-stealing is a perfectly allowable and even time-honored practice in baseball; doing so with technological aids or even binoculars is officially forbidden. The Los Angeles Dodgers were found to be using a laser rangefinder last season to position players in the outfield, though the team wasn’t disciplined for it. It still remains unclear what penalties the Red Sox may face for using an Apple Watch to cheat, but at a minimum, Apple can now add “stealing hand signs” to the Apple Watch’s list of functionalities.
