MLB to investigate David Fletcher

Major League Baseball is expected to investigate former Angels player David Fletcher for gambling on sports with a bookmaker who also took bets from Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The league's gambling policy prohibits players and team employees from wagering on baseball, even legally.

MLB also bans betting on other sports with illegal or offshore bookmakers. The penalty is at the discretion of the commissioner’s office.

Fletcher was a teammate of Ohtani's during the Japanese two-way sensation's six years with the Angels.

New Cardinals jerseys leaked

The St. Louis Cardinals will officially debut their new City Connect uniforms next week, but as has been the case with many of the City Connect designs, the official uniform has now leaked on social media.

"The Lou" is a popular nickname for the city of St. Louis. The river pinstripes pay homage to the Mississippi River. The Fleur De Lis and Arch on the sleeve salute two iconic symbols in St. Louis history.

The STL cap uses the same font as the team has on their 1920-1921 uniforms. And the 1882 inside the collar is in respect to the "birth" of the Cardinals' franchise.
