Illegal bets in the Dominican Republic come under scrutiny after MLB pitchers arrested. Baseball and bets go hand-in-hand in the Dominican Republic, where professional athletes, musicians and even legislators go public with their wagers. For every legal bet in the Caribbean country, officials estimate there are countless more illegal ones. It’s a widespread practice that has come under scrutiny following U.S. federal indictments of Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz. They are accused of taking bribes from unnamed sports bettors in the Dominican Republic to throw certain pitches and help those bettors win at least $460,000. Ortiz has pleaded not guilty, while Clase’s attorney has said his client is innocent.

Shohei Ohtani's fourth MVP award sparks celebrations in Japan. It’s become an annual ritual: Shohei Ohtani wins a Most Valuable Player award and Japan celebrates with newspaper extra editions being handed out a major train station.

Congratulatory messages came in immediately from the top of the government — and from down on the sidewalk.

Ohtani is unanimous MVP for 4th time in winning NL honor as Judge edges Raleigh for 3rd AL accolade. Two-way star Shohei Ohtani won his fourth MVP award in a unanimous vote for the National League honor and Aaron Judge earned the American League accolade for the third time. Ohtani won a MVP for the third straight year, his second in the NL with the Los Angeles Dodgers after two in the AL with the Los Angeles Angels. All four have been unanimous. Judge became the New York Yankees’ fourth three-time winner, edging Seattle’s Cal Raleigh with 17 first-place votes to 13 for the switch-hitting catcher. The vote was the closest for an MVP since the Angels’ Mike Trout topped Houston’s Alex Bregman by 17-13 in 2019.

Angels weighing question of offense vs. defense in center field. It will be tough for the Angels to find a center fielder who is above average with the bat and glove, so they are trying to decide if they could be better off using Jo Adell or Bryce Teodosio there and having more resources to improve other parts of the roster.
