More baseball news and opinion

Yesterday, it was reported that a major league ball player had been given a lifetime ban from baseball for gambling. Several others have been given one year suspensions.

This ban is coming from an organization that is actively promoting gambling on a nightly basis.

During every baseball game, I see at least four or five commercials from online gambling places like BetMGM, FanDuel or DraftKings.

Hell, NESN, ESPN and MLB all have segments of their pregame shows dedicated to wagering.

As a matter of fact, NESN provides all the information you need to gamble as does ESPN.

My point is that MLB, along with their affiliated broadcast partners, is deeply involved in the world of gambling nd I personally think it's kind of hypocritical of them to punish a player.

Speaking of baseball, the Red Sox injury train just keeps on rolling with Abreu springing his ankle walking back into the dugout.

Seems like every week, one new player goes on the IL while none come off.

As of today, the list of players from the 40-man roster that are currently on the IL contains 12 players:

Isaiah Campbell, Lucas Giolito, Liam Hendriks, Bryan Mata, Garrett Whitlock, Triston Casas, Romy Gonzalez, Vaughn Grissom, Trevor Story, Wilyer Abreu, Tyler O'Neill and Masataka Yoshida

That is ¼ of the roster...
