Former Blue Jays Pitcher Mike Bolsinger Suing Astros Over Cheating Scandal

Former Toronto Blue Jays reliever, Mike Bolsinger, is suing the Astros because they cost him a chance at an extended MLB career in a game in Houston on Aug. 4, 2017. Per TMZ Sports...

quote:
Bolsinger -- who gave up 4 hits, 3 walks and 4 earned runs in the .1 innings he pitched that game -- says as a result of his disastrous outing, the Jays cut him and no other MLB team wanted him.

The 32-year-old says he was forced to pitch in Japan the past two seasons ... calling the Aug. 4 appearance "the death knell" in his MLB career.

But now, that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has found the Astros DID, in fact, cheat during the 2017 season ... Bolsinger is looking for justice.

In his lawsuit, Mike says he wants the Astros to pay for the damages he suffered as a result of the outing.

Bolsinger also wants the 'Stros to give up all of their 2017 World Series post-season bonuses -- which he says are valued at $31 MILLION -- to charity.

I am(was) a huge Astros fan and I'm on board with the fallout. Blatantly cheating in the most advantageous way possible in America's past-time and acting smug about it the whole time? Pretty disgraceful. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, their cheating has impacting people's careers and they should be punished. Imagine if it was you. Cheaters suck.

Highly doubt his MLB career was ruined over one outing.

If you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin... They were in the business of competing. They took competing too far when they took sign stealing to another level. It is no secret that America's pastime has been riddled cheaters. If you are going to fault them, fault them for not knowing when they had gone too far... cause otherwise they were just staying ahead of the Jones'

4 earned runs on 3 walks and 4 hits in 1/3 of inning. Looks like MLB teams saw all they needed to see right there.
