| 8/19/25 | Cardinals May Pursue Blockbuster Trade For Controversial Superstar. The Cleveland Guardians have been through a lot this year, but the biggest storyline surrounding the team is the gambling investigation that stems from Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase. Clase, before the gambling investigation was brought to the forefront, was a big name to watch on the trade block. It seemed like the Guardians would have preferred to trade Clase in order to help kick start their rebuild. Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller recently suggested the Guardians would still be eager to trade Clase in the offseason if the gambling investigation is cleared by that point.

| 8/11/25 | Guardians have cut AL Central deficit from 15 1/2 games to 6. The record divisional comeback is 14. It's been a tough few weeks for the Cleveland Guardians — except on the field. Star closer Emmanuel Clase joined teammate Luis Ortiz in being placed on leave as part of an investigation into sports betting. Then the front office traded away former Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber as he neared a return from Tommy John surgery — not exactly the type of move a team makes when it fancies itself a contender.

| 7/07/25 | Outspoken Former Red Sox Catcher Weighs In On Betting Scandal. Major League Baseball launched an investigation last week involving Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher Luis Ortiz after two of his pitches were flagged as suspicious during games in June. Ortiz was placed on paid leave until July 17 pending the results of the investigation. The unusual pitches took place during games on June 15 and June 27, where Ortiz's pitches fell well short of the strike zone on the first pitch, calling into question whether he threw them intentionally to influence the outcome of prop bets on gambling apps. While betting scandals are nothing new in baseball, the growing trend of online sportsbooks and gambling apps has led to a handful of suspensions over the last few seasons.
