Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz Indicted in MLB Prop-Bet Rigging Scheme

Reports claim federal prosecutors allege the Guardians pitchers conspired to rig prop bets by pre-arranging specific pitches that co-conspirators wagered on, yielding kickbacks. Ortiz was arrested in Boston; Clase remains at large. Counts include wire fraud, honest-services wire fraud, bribery conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. MLB placed both on leave in July.
