MLB to allow anti-signal-stealing device in regular season MLB is set to allow the use of a new signaling device between catcher and pitcher in the upcoming regular season, per ESPN’s sources. Perfectly legal as far as rules, but the reason I don't like it is because it is a high risk, low yield play for the offence.
