Astros want pitcher Mike Bolsinger’s lawsuit dismissed or moved to Texas

The Houston Astros have made clear what they think of the lawsuit filed against the team by pitcher Mike Bolsinger: not much.

The Astros asked a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge to throw out the suit or, at least, to move the case to Texas. The Astros’ requests are scheduled to be heard June 12.

Bolsinger, the former Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, filed the suit against the Astros last month, alleging that the Astros’ sign-stealing scheme resulted in a pitching performance so poor that he has been unable to find a major league job since then.
