MLB Bans Tucupita Marcano for Life Over Betting Scandal
San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano has been banned for life by Major League Baseball for betting on baseball games, violating MLB's strict gambling policies. Four other players received one-year suspensions for unrelated bets. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred emphasized the importance of upholding the integrity of the game. Marcano's extensive betting activities included 387 baseball bets and $150,000 in wagers, though there is no evidence that any games were compromised. Marcano is the first active major leaguer banned for gambling in 100 years.
