However, in theory, the next time a team or player engages in sign stealing,
the U.S. Attorney General could sue under EEA § 1832, alleging “

In this hypothetical case, a court could plausibly find baseball signs to be
“trade secrets” because they are (i) business information, broadly construed,
(ii) that teams take reasonable measures to protect, and (iii) that have
“independent economic value” from being secret and not being
“readily ascertainable by proper means.”

太空人偷暗号的行为是不是就跟窃取商业机密的商业间谍一样可恶?
受害球团是不是该控告太空人求偿呢?
