ESPN's Tisha Thompson reported that Braves infielder David Fletcher, who played with pitcher Shohei Ohtani during his time with the Angels, was involved in sports betting.
Reporter Thompson reported, ``Infielder David Fletcher was making sports bets with a bookmaker in Southern California who accepted Ippei Mizuhara's bets.''
It was also reported that former Royals player Colby Schultz, who is a close friend of Fletcher's, had placed bets on baseball games, including Fletcher's games. Although Fletcher said he does not bet on baseball, the outlet noted that Fletcher was not previously under investigation, according to Major League Baseball, but "he is now expected to be investigated."
In an interview with ESPN in March 2024, Fletcher denied, saying, ``I met Bowyer once when I played golf before, but I have never gambled with Bowyer's organization.''
