Ex-Cleveland Guardians Pitchers Face Fraud Trial in New York

Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, former pitchers for the Cleveland Guardians, are on trial in New York. They face charges of accepting bribes and working with gamblers.

Prosecutors say the players helped gamblers win by signaling the type of pitches during games. This allowed bettors to place successful wagers on individual pitches.

The trial could have serious consequences for both players, potentially affecting their baseball careers and personal freedom.

The jury will review evidence related to fraud and collusion in professional baseball as the case unfolds.
