MLB’s Emmanuel Clase, Luis Ortiz charged with taking bribes to rig pitches for bettors
Two Major League Baseball (MLB) pitchers have been indicted on charges related to corruption and sports betting. Authorities allege that the players took bribes in exchange for providing sports bettors with advance notice of the types of pitches they planned to throw during games.
In addition to sharing this insider information, the pitchers are also accused of intentionally throwing balls instead of strikes, thereby influencing the outcome of at-bats. These actions not only violate MLB rules but also undermine the integrity of the sport.
The indictment highlights the growing concerns around gambling and the impact it can have on professional sports. Further details about the case and the identities of the players involved are expected to emerge as the investigation continues.
