Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley discuss MLB’s decision to clear Shohei Ohtani and ban five other players for betting on baseball, including Tucupita Marcano’s permanent ban. They talk about MLB’s involvement, gambling ads, future implications, and more. Later on, they chat about Tommy Pham’s recent altercation, surprising demotions, league parity, trade rumors, memorable games, skills competitions, Pride Night resistance from the Rangers, player nicknames, updates on Reed Garrett, position-player pitching trends, and SABR’s findings on the Negro Leagues.
