Guardians’ trade deadline plans complicated by Emmanuel Clase gambling investigation
Has the Guardians’ approach to the Major League Baseball trade deadline has been thrown into disarray following the news that All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase is under investigation for possible gambling rules violations?
Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti received the unwelcome call from MLB’s league offices on Sunday, informing him that Clase has joined teammate Luis Ortiz as part of MLB’s investigation into potential gambling infractions.
But Antonetti did not anticipate the news having any impact on whether or not calls would continue to come in.
“It’s a very active time of year anyway where we’re in constant dialogue with a lot of teams,” Antonetti said. “We had a lot of dialogue up through this morning and certainly have had dialogue over the last few hours and my expectation is that it will continue over the next few days.”
Reno Casino Shooter in Custody: Multiple People Injured
A suspect is in custody after a shooting at a casino in Reno, Nevada, left multiple people injured on Monday morning, authorities said.
Reno police responded to an active shooter report at Grand Sierra Resort around 7:25 a.m. local time, the department told Fox News Digital.
Within four minutes, authorities said officers located the suspect and a shootout occurred. The suspect was taken to a hospital, according to police, though no update on his condition or identity was immediately available. Police said there was no threat to the public.
The Reno Police Department warned residents to stay out of the area. Multiple emergency vehicles, including several ambulances, were seen outside the casino on Monday. Police haven’t said how many people were injured.
A member of the Reno City Council, Devon Reese, said he was informed by the city manager’s office that there were fatalities reported. He didn’t have additional details.
“My heart breaks for the victims, their families, and our entire community. Reno is strong — but we are not immune to the epidemic of gun violence gripping this nation,” Reese said in a social media post.
Two people were found dead when law enforcement arrived, and three injured people were taken to the hospital, according to Northern Nevada District Health Officer Dr. Chad Kingsley.
This situation is fluid and Gambling911.com will continue to report new details as they become available.

Emmanuel Clase Placed On Leave While MLB Conducts Gambling Investigation
Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase on Monday was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through Aug. 31 as part of Major League Baseball's investigation into sports gambling. Clase is the second Guardians pitcher to be caught up in the inquiry.
Clase, 27, is a three-time All-Star and two-time winner of the Mariano Rivera Award as the best relief pitcher in the American League. He finished third in AL Cy Young voting last year when he posted a 0.61 ERA over 74⅓ innings. In 47⅓ innings this season, Clase has a 3.23 ERA and has already allowed more hits this year (46) than last (39) while striking out 47 and walking 12.
Guardians right-hander Luis Ortiz remains on non-disciplinary paid leave after originally being placed there July 3 after unusual gambling activity on two pitches he threw for balls, sources told ESPN. Ortiz's leave was later extended to Aug. 31.
In a statement, the Guardians said "no additional players or club personnel are expected to be impacted" by the investigation.
Is Las Vegas in Trouble?
Hotel occupancy rates are dwindling, declining tourism threatens to push Nevada's already nation-leading unemployment rate higher and casinos—once the beating heart of the Sin City economy—have extended a monthslong streak of falling revenue.
Newsweek asks Is Las Vegas is in trouble? It appears to be.
According to recent data from hotel analytics provider STR, hotel occupancy dropped to 66.7 percent in early July, down nearly 17 percent from the same period last year. Vegas also recorded the steepest national declines in average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPar), the latter down 29 percent year-over-year.
Data shows that visitors, both domestic and international, are increasingly steering clear of Vegas, sparked by a period of economic difficulty at home and a wider decline in inbound travel to the U.S.
This past May visitors to Las Vegas dropped 6.5% from 2024, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reported. It’s right on average with 2025’s tourism decline, kept lower by more balanced visitor totals in January.
Vital Vegas joked on Twitter that "Vegas is so thirsty for business, they’re giving away money hand over W-2G". He referenced the crazy jackpot wins of late.
