(I know, a far fetched idea but hey, anything is possible right?)

The rule is that the team cannot have any monitoring device in the dugout. Game info from clubhouse monitors is constantly being relayed to game participants, in every ballpark in the league.
As far as relaying pitches, it really is farfetched. That would require each batter to be wearing a wire of some kind in order to successfully relay that information in a timely manner. Oh yeah, after deciphering the signs, which can be constantly changed. Yeah, it's probably been tried already.
