Former Blue Jays Pitcher Suing The Houston Astros.

[EastCoaster]

Former Blue Jays pitcher Mike Bolsinger is suing the Houston Astros saying their sign stealingscheme is the reason that his career was cut short. He claims after an outing in Houston in August 2017 game he gave up 4 runs in relief which lead to his release and his career.

This could reveal more details of the trash can scheme to the public and hurt the Astros even more so I'm all for it.

I don't think the Astros are the reason Bolsinger is no longer in the MLB.

I bet he also spilled coffee on himself and sued McDonald's. I guess Japan really was that terrible.

Everybody hit Bolsinger hard. They must all be stealing signs.

IMO this is exactly what this is about. Someone has approached Bolsinger and convinced him to sue so that details can come out which would never be revealed any other way. Bolsinger has already talked about the money going to charity, which keeps him out of the cash grab discussions for the most part. He made $1.7M in Japan last year. He'd still be Arb 1 if he played in the MLB in 2018 and 2019. He's lost nothing financially. He has zero chance at winning, so there is something else about it.
