Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Players A sociation (MLBPA) have agreed that players who steal signs electronically can be suspended without pay or service time, .Here's more from the report, which comes in the months after no players were punished in electronic sign-stealing schemes carried out by the Astros and Red Sox in recent years:Now everyone faces potential suspensions, and the rules continue to put the emphasis on the manager and general manager: "It is the responsibility Green Bay Packers Pet Gear of the Club's top baseball operations official and field manager to ensure that all players, baseball operations staff and field staff understand the requirements."There is no preset length of punishment for players who violate the rules.

Sign-stealing is not against the rules, but improper usage of electronic equipment is, and now any future violation can be deemed severe enough for further punishment, thanks to these new rules.
