Stealing signs: from the catcher or others?

This week Yankee manager Aaron Boone held a press conference and Boone obviously felt like a victim of the Houston Astros cheating: illegally stealing signs so that Astros batters knew what pitch was coming.

Boone and/or Rothschild appear to give signs when Altuve homers to win 2019 pennant. 11/19/19

... Yankee catcher Gary Sanchez giving the signs to Yankee closer Aroldis Chapman ... Watch Yankee manager Aaron Boone and pitching coach Larry Rothschild ... Sanchez seems to be looking 90 degrees to his left at Boone... Sanchez is clearly getting the sign from the Yankee dugout and then passing it along to Chapman.

Is there any remote possibility that one of the immensely unimaginative media people could ask Boone specifically or one of the other "victims" who initiated the signs that were stolen? In other words, were the signs visible for anyone at the ballpark, including the batter, to see?
