Stealing signs while on base happens all the time. There is no rule against it. This is what the yankees are claiming the sox did:
"They have devised a scheme in which a member of their organization watches catchers to pick up the signs. The person quickly decodes the sequence that signifies the pitch that would be thrown. Then, according to sources, the information would be texted to Red Sox assistant trainer Jon Jochim. Jochim would relay the information to Red Sox batters.
That seems like an awful lot going on between when the sign is given and when the pitch is delivered.
