The league announced it will fully cooperate with a U.S. Senate panel investigating gambling-related matters, as indictments were filed against pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz for alleged involvement in pitch-rigging schemes. Meanwhile, the New York Mets and Texas Rangers executed a blockbuster trade sending outfielder Brandon Nimmo to Texas in exchange for second baseman Marcus Semien, shaking up both clubs’ rosters. Also making waves, a bat used by Shohei Ohtani during his five-homer season fetched approximately $300,000 at auction, highlighting his broad impact on and off the field.
