In today’s episode, Dan Riley explores the growing concern about gambling in baseball. While some see the potential reinstatement of banned players as a move toward redemption, others fear it could signal that gambling is harmless.By reopening the door to legendary but controversial figures, Major League Baseball may blur the line between forgiveness and accountability.

There’s a risk that players—or fans—could interpret this shift as a softening stance on betting. And gambling in baseball, as history has shown, carries real-life consequences—like addiction, financial ruin, and compromised integrity.Dan cautions that this decision, though perhaps well-meaning, could blow up in the league’s face.

As the conversation around gambling in baseball resurfaces, the league must tread carefully. The past offers plenty of warning signs—and ignoring them may cost more than the sport is willing to pay.
