Five men sued MLB, MLB Advanced Media, the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox in federal court in New York City.
They are claiming fraud, violation of consumer protection laws and deceptive trade practices by teams that violated MLB’s rules against the use of electronics to steal catchers’ signs.
