Part 4/7:
Luis Ortiz was arrested in Boston ahead of a scheduled court appearance, with his legal team denying any wrongdoing. His attorney emphasized Ortiz’s innocence and his commitment to the game, asserting that he would never influence a game improperly or for personal gain. Emmanuel Clauss, meanwhile, remains at large, with his whereabouts undisclosed by authorities.
Both the MLB and the Cleveland Guardians have stated they are cooperating with authorities and conducting their own internal investigations. The MLB Players Association has yet to comment publicly on the ongoing situation, likely awaiting further developments.
