Major League Baseball (MLB) has issued a lifetime ban to San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano for betting on baseball games, including those involving his own team, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Marcano placed 387 bets totaling over $150,000 between October 2022 and November 2023, winning only 4.3% of the time. Additionally, four other players received one-year suspensions for violating MLB's sports betting policies. These players include Andrew Saalfrank, who bet $445.87, José Rodríguez, Michael Kelly, and Jay Groome. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred emphasized the league's strict enforcement of its gambling rules, highlighting the ongoing tension between professional sports and the growing influence of legal sports betting.
