Wednesday, August 26, 2026
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo apologized to Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell after Major League Baseball confirmed that Cubs third base coach Quintin Berry's sign-stealing activities were legal under league rules. Lovullo characterized his earlier criticism as "bush league." Berry had been relaying signs from the opposing catcher to Cubs batters using hand signals, a practice permitted by MLB when executed without electronic equipment or when the opposing team fails to disguise their signals adequately.
