Many more former scouts might join the 17 who are plaintiffs in the class action suit against Rob Manfred, MLB and its 30 teams.
When 17 former baseball scouts filed a class action lawsuit against Major League Baseball in U.S. District Court in Denver last week, claiming age discrimination and charging that older scouts were not only pushed out but were subsequently blacklisted … well, it shouldn’t have been a surprise.
“All the years I’ve been in this business, and I’ve been in it a long time, and I saw guys and they just went away,” Ingalls said in a phone conversation Monday. “There was never, ‘Hey, wait a second. What happened here? Why? Why?’ So I always remembered that, and I thought when it finally happened to me, I said, you know what? I’m not the guy. I’m not going away.
And while there are 17 names in this suit right now, the suit estimates that more than 100 older scouts are part of the affected class. Ingalls said Monday the initial estimate of scouts who might join the suit was anywhere from 50 to 100, and “within a two- or three-day period, we got 20 more guys already.”
MLB’s response to the lawsuit last week was a terse statement: “We do not comment on pending litigation. However, we look forward to refuting these claims in court.”
