Tucupita Marcano, a utility player with the San Diego Padres, is reportedly under investigation for violating the sport's gambling policy.
According to multiple reports Monday, San Diego Padres utility player Tucupita Marcano is being investigated by Major League Baseball for violating the sport's gambling policy, and he faces the possibility of a lifetime ban.According to the initial report in the Wall Street Journal, Marcano has been accused of betting on games involving the Pittsburgh Pirates last season while he was on the injured list for that team.
The so-called 'Black Sox Scandal' cast a pall over the sport and sent a warning to future players who sought to profit off their own performance through side bets: do it again, and you're out.Baseball's strict no-gambling policy has claimed several players over the years. In 1947, MLB suspended the manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Leo Durocher, for a year for his relationships with gamblers.In 1970, the league suspended Detroit Tigers pitcher Denny McLain for his gambling ties.
