BOSTON — It was 4:30 p.m. when Red Sox manager John Farrell walked into his pregame meeting with reporters on Wednesday, a little later than usual because of the 19-inning game the night before.

“Good morning,” a reporter greeted him, prompting Farrell to look at his wrist to check the time.

“It’s not an Apple Watch,” he said.

If the Red Sox are concerned about a Major League Baseball investigation into using the high-tech timepieces to steal pitch signs from the New York Yankees, they aren’t showing it. The AL East leaders expressed little concern about possible punishment.

“It’s part of the game,” said Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia, one of the players implicated in the sign-stealing scheme. “Our adjustment to that stuff is: go out to the mound and change the signs. ... It’s been around a long, long time. We were doing that at Douglas Junior High.”
