The U.S. Court of Appeals released its decision to deny a request to stop the unsealing of a letter that allegedly showed the Yankees hid sign-stealing scheme.

— would wreck the team’s reputation, and that the letter should never have been introduced to the court in the first place since they weren’t part of the initial lawsuit.

A source said that it may take two weeks or more for the court to release the letter, which is expected to be redacted to protect the identities of certain people mentioned in it. A U.S. District Court judge had initially ordered the release of the letter, but the Yankees argued against it. It took the appeals court more than a year to rule against the team.

The letter was actually related to the Apple Watch fiasco between the Yankees and Red Sox in 2017, team president Randy Levine said when arguing against the release of the letter Dec. 14, 2020. At the time, the league fined Boston for illegally using the watch to relay signs to players, it said in a press release. The Yankees were levied a smaller fine for improper use of a dugout phone in a prior season.
