Baseball players are allowed to place legal bets as long as not on baseball
They claim no bets were placed on baseball
The issue is in California the sportsbook they used is “illegal “ - without going into too many details on gaming laws there for example B365 is technically operating illegally in Alberta
So assuming they aren’t lieing about betting on baseball the only issue is that they bet on an online site that is now under investigation for being illegal .
Which would really be a nothing burger in the grand scheme of things / spirit of the rule for MLB players betting
The big IF is were any baseball bets placed
And clearly these were Ohtanis bets
