Mookie Betts Says 'Everyone Was' Aware of Red Sox Sign Stealing

Five years have now lapsed since the Red Sox's controversial 2018 World Series title. Most of the key contributors from that team have scattered throughout the major leagues, including Dodgers outfielder (and '18 AL MVP) Mookie Betts.

Even manager Alex Cora, seemingly disgraced as a result of the sign-stealing scandal, has returned from exile to pilot Boston the past two seasons.

Still, Betts and his teammates occasionally face questions about the nature of the Red Sox's operation, which evaded much of the uproar over the Astros' duplicity. In a Sunday Los Angeles Times column by Dylan Hernandez, Betts offered his perspective on Boston's actions half a decade later.

When asked if he was clued into the fact the Red Sox were stealing signs via video, Betts was frank.

“Yeah,” Betts said, “everybody was.”
