Schneider says Blue Jays talked to MLB about base coach positioning after Judge side-eye

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the team talked to Major League Baseball officials on Tuesday about the positioning of New York's base coaches on the field during play.

The discussion came after the Blue Jays examined video from Monday's 7-4 loss to New York. Yankees slugger Aaron Judge briefly looked sideways in the direction of his dugout before hitting a homer in the eighth inning.

"Just making sure what's fair is fair, I think," Schneider said in a pre-game media availability. "If our guys are giving stuff away, we have to be better at that.

Speculation that Judge might have been looking for a sign ramped up after television broadcasters noticed the slugger's unusual glance to his right at times during the at-bat.

After the game, Judge said he quickly looked in the dugout to see who was yelling at home-plate umpire Clint Vondrak, who had ejected Yankees manager Aaron Boone a few pitches earlier.

"I'm not in the business of buying post-game media," Schneider said. "Again, it's a really accomplished hitter who won the MVP last year. I know that he means nothing but business and wants to win.

"I just found it a little funny that he was worrying about his dugout while he was in the batter's box."

Boone also spoke to reporters on Tuesday before the evening game at Rogers Centre.

"I think most of the people in the know, know that there's nothing there," Boone said. "I'm sure that will be the prevailing wisdom as it
