Astros Fan Sues Team Over Cheating Scandal: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. The lawsuits keep coming for the Astros over their sign-stealing scheme.

Former pitcher Mike Bolsinger is already taking the Astros to court. So are two daily fantasy players. Now, a Houston season-ticket holder is getting litigious.

Adam Wallach has turned on his own team and filed a class-action lawsuit that claims the Astros used its electronic sign-stealing scheme to win more games, which led to the team jacking up ticket prices, so he's suing for "inappropriate increases."

Wallach's official complaint accuses the Astros of “deceptively overcharging (fans) for season tickets while defendants and their employees and representative knowingly and surreptitiously engaged in a sign stealing scheme … and secretly put a deficient product on the field that could result (and now has resulted) in severe penalties.
