Show Notes
Major League Baseball and the players association have agreed to place Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz on unpaid leave during the leagues investigation into allegations of pitch-rigging for gamblers. The two, indicted on federal charges last November, had been on paid leave since July, but this move shifts them to unpaid status until the probe concludes. The charges stem from claims of taking payoffs to throw pitches at specific speeds, helping two gamblers win over four hundred sixty thousand dollars. Both players have pleaded not guilty, and the trial is set for May fourth. The league maintains this is not an admission of guilt, and the situation remains under close watch.
