Re: How Stupid Can You Be
I read the article in the Athletic this morning - these guys are both going to lose their careers over a few thousand dollars. This is from Ken Rosenthal:
In addition to being illegal, this would also have been a colossally stupid gambit. Clase is set to make $6.4 million in 2026. Ortiz was set to receive a pre-arbitration raise from his 2025 salary of $782,600.
It’s not known exactly how much Clase or Ortiz are alleged to have made from the conspiracy in total, but it’s certainly less than the combined ~$460,000 that the bettors reportedly won from the bets.
