Tucupita Marcano Banned For Life By MLB
Former Padres Infield Prospect Caught Betting On Baseball
Marcano's Gambling Habit Led To Lifetime Ban
San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano has been banned for life by Major League Baseball after being caught betting on baseball games. The 25-year-old Marcano was in his fourth season with the Padres after being signed as an international free agent in 2018. He was considered one of the top prospects in the organization and was expected to be a key part of the team's future. However, his gambling habit has now put an end to his career.
The investigation into Marcano's betting activities began in May when MLB received a tip that he had placed bets on Padres games. MLB investigators quickly gathered evidence that Marcano had indeed been betting on games, both with his own money and with money from other people. He was also found to have been providing inside information to gamblers.
