MLB fires umpire Pat Hoberg for gambling violations

Major League Baseball (MLB) has fired umpire Pat Hoberg for “sharing sports” betting accounts with a professional poker player and friend who bet on baseball, per ESPN. The league found no evidence that Hoberg bet on baseball games himself or manipulated them while working.

MLB originally fired Hoberg on May 31 last year, but Hoberg appealed the process. MLB upheld the decision on Monday afternoon.

We’ll have more on this story shortly.
