    The Boston Red Sox Thursday, February 27, 2020 * The Boston Globe Red Sox lawyers argue team should not be held liable for alleged electronic sign-stealing Bob Hohler Lawyers for the Red Sox contend in a federal court document that the Sox should not be held liable for their alleged electronic sign-stealing en route to the 2018 World Series title in part because a judge dismissed a complaint against Bill Belichick and the Patriots for allegedly engaging in similar misconduct in the 2007 Spygate scandal. The Sox lawyers also argued that a class-action suit by fantasy baseball gamblers against the Sox, Houston Astros, and Major League Baseball should be tossed because aggrieved pay-for-view customers lost their bid to seek refunds after boxer Mike Tyson violated the sport’s rules and was disqualified from a heavyweight title fight in 1997 for biting off a piece of his opponent’s ear. “Courts faced with similar claims repeatedly have rejected the notion that sports teams, participants, and organizers have a duty publicly to disclose even material information that could affect the quality, intensity or fairness of athletic competition,’’ the Sox lawyers stated in a 27-page memorandum supporting their motion to dismiss the suit. They filed the document Feb. 21 in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit claims the Sox, Astros, and MLB defrauded DraftKings fantasy baseball customers through “manipulative and deceitful conduct’’ that involved the Astros allegedly electronically stealing signs in their 2017 championship season and the Sox purportedly engaging in similar deception en route to their title the following year.
