Guardians Pitchers Face Bribery Trial in 2026
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
Two Cleveland Guardians pitchers, Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, are set for trial in May 2026, accused of accepting bribes to manipulate games. The trial, initially scheduled for February, was postponed due to requests from both the prosecution and defense. The pitchers, who have pleaded not guilty, are accused of providing information to bettors in the Dominican Republic, allegedly winning them $460,000. Clase is accused of starting the scheme in 2023, with Ortiz joining in June. Both players are out on bond with travel restrictions.
