MLB bans Marcano for life and suspends four players for one year over betting
Major League Baseball said it banned San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano for life and suspended four other players for one year for betting on baseball. MLB said Marcano placed 387 bets worth more than $150,000, while each of the other players wagered under $1,000; it also said none bet on games in which they played.
The suspensions underline MLB’s player betting restrictions and the consequences of betting on baseball.
