MLB says Peter Bayer's story does not hold water.
The story of MLB keeping a former minor league pitcher out of baseball for a few piddling bets may be a bit more complex than that.banned for three straight years for"placing wagers on a few MLB games during the 2020 COVID year when [minor league baseball] did not have a season."that MLB's investigation found that Bayer allegedly lied about his gambling habits and tried to obstruct the league's investigation over the matter, according to a letter from Commissioner Rob Manfred.
Bayer says that the ongoing suspension is causing problems for his"aspirations to work as a coach or with a team in another capacity." He argued in his post that his bets were made through legal sportsbooks, he was"considered unemployed" because minor league contracts were suspended and he"never once bet on baseball when physically playing or bet on it to compromise the integrity of the sport." Bayer told The Athletic that he made 20 wagers that were"never more than $100." His initial story garnered understandable sympathy from many, as MLB profits handsomely from legal gambling.
When Bayer initially went public, MLB said that in addition to his gambling, he "engaged in other misconduct that was not in the best interest of baseball." The 27-year-old he believed that was a reference"to comments he made in various publications criticizing low wages for minor-league players."
