Tucupita Marcano banned from MLB for life

[roguejuror]

On June 4, 2024, Marcano was banned for life from MLB and four other players were each suspended for one year for violating the league's gambling policy. The league stated that Marcano began betting on Pirates games during the 2023 season while recovering from surgery. MLB found that Marcano placed 387 bets on MLB and international contests, wagering more than $150,000 between October 2022 and November 2023. Almost all of his bets on Pirates games were on which club would win or over–under bets on the number of runs scored. He denied having inside information that would influence his bets. He won just 4.3% of his wagers, according to the league.
