Guardians Deny Emmanuel Clase Venezuelan Winter League Pitching Amid MLB Gambling Investigation
Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase is currently on non-disciplinary paid leave amid an ongoing Major League Baseball investigation into sports gambling. Due to this, the Guardians denied Clase permission to play winter ball in the Venezuelan league after he was also banned from playing in the Dominican Republic's winter league. MLB's policies generally require club and league approval for players to join foreign winter leagues, which the Guardians refused for Clase. The investigation has sidelined Clase since late July, with his future in MLB uncertain, as MLB and the Players Association extended his leave indefinitely. Despite the absence of Clase and fellow pitcher Luis Ortiz, the Guardians secured a remarkable comeback to win the AL Central division, though their postseason ended in the wild-card round. Guardians management remains hopeful the investigation concludes during the offseason but is preparing for the possibility that Clase may not return to the team.
