San Diego Padres player Tucupita Marcano received a lifetime ban for violating sports betting rules by placing over $150,000 in bets on baseball, including on his own team.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred emphasized the importance of upholding rules to protect the integrity of the games and players' responsibility to refrain from engaging in certain behaviors.
The suspension of Marcano marked MLB's first lifetime ban for a gambling-related incident since 1924, illustrating the severity of violating league integrity rules.
