The Houston Astros will not renew the contracts of five pro scouts, including Ricky Bennett, the clubs' director of professional scouting.


Luhnow: "We're restructuring the department, and as part of that we've notified several scouts that they won't be offered contracts for next year. They're currently in contracts and those contracts will be honored until the end, but I wanted to give them as much runway as possible to try and find other opportunities, which is why we're doing this months before their contracts finish."



He did not acknowledge the others who are being released, but Major Leage Baseball sources told FOX 26 Sports they are Scipio Spinks, Bryan Lambe, Jack Lind and Bob Rossi.
