Former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Mike Bolsinger has filed suit against the Houston Astros alleging their cheating during the World Series ruined his career. According to a recent announcement by Major League Baseball, the Astros had used the video replay feed to steal opposing teamsâ?? signs during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. The move resulted in Astros players knowing what pitches were coming from Bolsinger, and the pitchers demotion, the lawsuit alleges. He filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday and accuses the team of unfair business practices, negligence and intentional interference with contractual and economic relations.
