How social media is reacting to the Jeff Luhnow interview
Aaron Barker, Senior Digital Editor
HOUSTON – KPRC 2′s Vanessa Richardson got an exclusive one-on-one interview with former Astros General Manager Jeff Luhnow. It’s his first sit-down with a reporter since the team’s cheating scandal that got him fired.
Luhnow admitted that cheating happened, but said he had no knowledge of it. He said he felt like he was a scapegoat.

I am LIVID after watching the Jeff Luhnow interview. If what all Jeff said is true, he was the scapegoat of the organization. He didn’t deserve the treatment he was given by both @MLB and the @Astros. Rob Manfred and Jim Crane needs to answer for their wrongdoing. #Astros
@SportsVanessa what a great interview with Jeff Luhnow! He was sincere and completely believable. That’s one more reason for @astros fans to be upset with Jim Crane. He did not handle any of that well. I’ve said before the Saints and Patriots didn’t fire their coaches or GMs.
