Jeff Luhnow Sues Astros for More Than $22M over Firing for Cheating Scandal

Former general manager Jeff Luhnow is reportedly suing the Houston Astros for $22 million, per TMZ Sports, for firing him in January 2020 after the team's sign-stealing scandal came to light despite his claims that he had "no knowledge of—or involvement in—the sign-stealing schemes."

Luhnow's lawsuit claims that "everyone above and below Luhnow in the Astros organization came away unscathed," including the "video room employees who conceived and orchestrated the sign stealing system."

That isn't entirely true—manager A.J. Hinch was also fired as a result of the scandal.
