He really gave it all away for $7k? Just don’t get it.
$5000 will end up costing them millions. Boneheaded stuff.
I’d have thought $5K and $7K wouldn’t be enticing enough for guys making MLB level money
65 years? A bit excessive don’t ya think
Unbelievably stupid
Generational bag fumbles in mlb in back to back years goes crazy
Weird that the whole Ohtani thing was just a big misunderstanding, considering …
65 years? I mean… murderers and rapers don’t even get that kind of sentence
You know your laws/rules are out of whack when a guy gets in much more trouble for trying to scam 12K vs hitting your wife and various other more serious stuff.
Guess thats what happens when you are backed by billion dollars corporations.
without reading, I thought it was David Ortiz which would’ve shocked me, then I saw it’s not him and I was like phew cuz he’s a legend
65 years in prison is absurd when there are murderers and rapists doing less time but yeah definitely not a good move. Give them the George Springer treatment and do nothing about it I guess?
65 years for basically an immaterial amount. What a justice system we have
Clase’s salary for 2025 was 4.9 million, Ortiz’s was 786k. What good does 5 and 7k really get you? Stupid.
Upto 65 yrs is ridiculous. Utterly stupid “justice” system.
It’s rigging and betting. Doesn’t warrant more than 5 years and a ban from the sport.
65 years sounds really steep. Honestly, wouldn’t fines be enough?
Holy shit

Boy, I sure am glad that MLB incessantly promotes gambling.
imagine being at the top of your game, and being stupid enough to throw it away like this
If these guys get 65 years after seeing the soft sentences some people get for the most heinous crimes, it’ll be the perfect example of how broken and money driven the US justice system is.
Hey guys I’m starting to think all this sports betting is a bad thing…
They take a plea deal and get 12month prison and 3 yr probation with banned from MLB
Man who’d have thought we’d see problems like this – players manipulating games in professional sports leagues – once gambling was permitted? What wise oracle could have possibly predicted this?
They could get 65 years in prison for throwing a ball in the dirt. Meanwhile, the Astros, along with Springer, Verlander, Bregman, etc. continue to make millions off the backs of literally cheating.
65 years seems a bit much. It’s not just me, right?
Hey you know how we are fuck you rich, and likely to get even more so, how bout we throw that away for 5k
Leveraging them to take down bigger targets
IN ALL SPORTS THE FIX IS IN.
TAKE THAT TO THE BANK
At least the California Penal league will have 2 pitchers as good as the old Ricky Vaughn.

I hate this crap. Gambling has become so much invasive

Wow dumb and greedy move there to say the least
Dudes are gonna do more time than rapists for throwing two pitches for a few grand in a fucking game. What a dumb fucking timeline we live in.
Serious prison time for this is ridiculous. Large fines, probation, and banning from the MLB would be fair. These men aren’t dangerous.
Even if they never did it before I’m sure the intention was to continue doing it in the future. You could do it 40 times a year and make almost 1/3 of your salary tax-free. Forget the jail time. Nobody’s getting 65 years for what they did. But they are out of baseball forever. That could be a loss of tens of millions of dollars over a career.
Can’t wait for the backlash to sports gambling
While everyone is focused on the relatively small amount of money involved it is highly likely that there is much more to this. One is that these were small payouts getting the pitchers to prove they would and could pull this type of thing off. Offering them big money down the road when it mattered more, like a playoff game. That type of “reel them in slowly” tactic is SOP. Another, and it happens all the time, is both were indebted to their bookies for non baseball bets and were threatened with exposure if they did not follow through. It’s possible this came to light because one, or both balked (no pun intended) at further participation and were exposed by their bookies. Or the bookies got caught and turning evidence is part of a deal they made with the feds.
But lets keep blasting those gambling ads during MLB telecasts.
Nah it’s cool, Pete Rose got to come back.
(Fuck Pete Rose, btw)
sports players getting more scrutiny than the political players is peak capitalism fail.
And rapists walk free among us.
That seems excessive for anything related to compromising a sporting event. We got rich people out here living large despite evidence in the Epstein files…shit is backwards as hell.
I wonder if this is connected to the NBA gambling arrests recently. It would surprise me if the same people are behind both.
With a $20m contract $7,000 is a quarter on the street you don’t even bother picking up. Imagine losing everything and going to prison over it.
Holy shit. 65 years in prison is way too much for this. Rapists and murderers get less
Shohei: One day all clear
they aint Shohei cant get away with this stuff
But the kid who raped his girlfriends gets 0. Cool
