Former Houston Astros pitcher Mike Fiers said he's received death threats after exposing the Astros' sign-stealing scheme.
for his role in the sign-stealing scandal, Fiers told the Athletic this week he’s not too worried about that either.
“I’m not asking for extra security,” Fiers said. “I’m here to play baseball, and I can defend myself, if anything. We do have National League games, and I’m going to have to get into the box just like everybody else. It’s part of the game. If they decide to throw at me, then they throw at me. There’s nothing much you can do about it.”
He added: “I’ve dealt with a lot in my life. I’ve dealt with people hating me before. I’ve dealt with a lot of life problems. It is what it is. And if someone’s going to retaliate then by hitting me with a pitch, it’s not a big deal.”
