Roberto Osuna’s lawyer wants you to know that the closer is not remorseful after charges of his allegedly assaulting a woman.

Astros GM Jeff Luhnow, after coming under fire for trading for Osuna before the deadline, released a statement saying the team had done due diligence and was “confident that Osuna is remorseful.”

Osuna’s lawyer then told ESPN’s Buster Olney that Luhnow was wrong.

“My client is not remorseful of being guilty of any criminal activity,” he said. “He’s obviously remorseful of the circumstances.”

In legalese, this is a lawyer refusing to let his client take responsibility, and Osuna is planning to plead not guilty in the court case that will begin Sept 5. In baseball-ese, it adds onto the pile of what is a growing disaster for Houston.

Trading for Osuna looked bad when it happened. It looks worse now. The Astros flipped their failed closer, Ken Giles, for Osuna, whose 75-game suspension finishes Sunday. It put the team’s players in a difficult situation, with stars like Justin Verlander having come out strong against domestic violence perpetrators.

Luhnow touted the team’s “unprecedented” due diligence into Osuna before making the trade. A few days later, it seems the team could have done a little more work.
