Former Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase accused of rigging this many games for bettors

A newly filed court document dramatically expands the scope of allegations against Emmanuel Clase, revealing that the former Cleveland Guardians closer is accused of manipulating far more games than previously disclosed.

ESPN’s David Payne Purdum shared the update on X (formerly known as Twitter), citing a filing submitted Thursday that alleges Clase threw suspect pitches to benefit bettors in at least 48 games over a two-year span.

“Indicted Cleveland Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase is accused of throwing suspect pitches to benefit bettors in at least 48 games over two years, significantly more than was initially revealed by federal prosecutors, according to a court document filed Thursday.”

The revelation matters because it transforms the case from a limited incident into a potentially systemic scheme, with the full scope of how many games Clase intentionally influenced still unknown.

The following story is still in development.
