Report: MLB can suspend players guilty of electronically stealing signs
聯盟對於使用電子設備偷暗號的球員可以處以禁賽處分了
Major League Baseball and the MLBPA have agreed that players who steal signs
electronically can be suspended without pay and service time, according to
Evan Drellich of The Athletic.
根據The Athletic記者Evan Drellich報導，聯盟跟球員工會同意球員若使用電子設備偷暗
號的話，可以被處以禁賽以及球監。
The league has reportedly hired an independent security firm to monitor
video-room entrances. Additionally, signs are expected to be edited from
footage used by players during games by the 2021 season.
據報導聯盟已經聘請獨立保全公司來監控進出球隊影音室的人，此外，在2021年賽季開始
前，影像裡面有暗號的部分被預期會經過編輯。
While commissioner Rob Manfred will have the power to implement these
suspensions, the union will maintain the ability to appeal said decisions.
There is no set length or severity for the punishments, and precedents are
expected to develop over time.
儘管主席Rob Manfred將會有權力可以執行禁賽，工會仍保有對此處分上訴的權利。目前對
於這處罰還沒有明定長短以及程度，預期會要看之後的案例。
As an added wrinkle, if three or more players on the same team are discovered
to have violated the rule at the same time, the league and union are expected
to have a plan in place to stagger the punishments so a roster isn't too
depleted.
此外，若是同一隊伍裡面有3個或是更多球員在同一時間內違規，預期聯盟跟工會會準備好
方案，會將禁賽分開處理，以避免輪值名單內球員數目被削減太多。
When the Houston Astros were found to have illegally stolen signs during its
2017 World Series run using an electronic system, players from that roster
were granted immunity so they would not be punished financially or by way of
suspension. That will no longer be the case for guilty parties going forward.
休士頓太空人被發現在2017年世界大賽時使用電子設備非法盜取暗號，但是在輪值名單內
的球員因為有了豁免權，沒有被罰款或是禁賽。但是將來若還有這樣的非法行為就不會是
現在這樣了。
