That sounds straightforward and non-controversial.
Lol. True. But the last sentence says "The same rule will be mandated during tournament play." So I'm guessing it was in place for the world series, and I'd almost bet a big emphasis was placed on it. And actually what I posted was just simply a press release type statement telling us about the rule. That's not the actual wording of the rule.

I personally have never caught an opposing player stealing our signs, but I've definitely caught opposing coaches doing it. One lady was coaching first, and I noticed the same little instructional sentences to her batters. It was a code indicating which pitch was being called. I started having fun with it. I'd call the pitch, and then literally say her sentence for her. Her face turned blood red, and she shut up. It was awesome.
