Former general manager Jeff Luhnow, who was fired by the team before the 2020 season because of his involvement in its 2017 sign-stealing scandal, said Monday the club still employs people who played a role in stealing signs during the Astros' World Series-winning season.
According to Matt Young of the Houston Chronicle, Luhnow said the following in an interview with KPRC 2's Vanessa Richardson:
"The people who were involved that didn't leave naturally to go to other teams are all still employed by the Astros. In fact, one of the people who was intimately involved, I had demoted from a position in the clubhouse to a position somewhere else, and after I was fired he was promoted back into the clubhouse.
