I went deeper into the at-bats where Luis Ortiz is accused of throwing balls on purpose.
1) These pitches didn't just compromise games. They helped flip them. Twice.
2) It's the player props, man
3) This is NOT a case where legal sports betting improved the situation slate.com/technology/2...

I mean, good?
MLB announces that all authorized betting partners will now cap wagers on pitch-level bets at $200 and exclude them from parlays. Pitch-level bets, you may remember, are the kind Clase, Ortiz, and their co-conspirators allegedly exploited.

Wonder how much of this decision had to do with Daboll playing a little fast and loose with Jaxson Dart’s repeated brain injuries.
The New York Giants fired coach Brian Daboll on Monday after the team dropped to 2-8 to start the 2025 season, sources told The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.

This is probably going to crush Grisham's market, so I'd be surprised if he didn't accept.
The Yankees made Trent Grisham the qualifying offer. It's a one-year, $22.025M deal. If he takes it, he's back next year. If he doesn't, the Yankees will get a draft pick if he signs elsewhere.
