Terry PlutoGUEST
was when they traded Andres Jimenez to Toronto as a three-way deal, and they got Ortiz.
Terry PlutoGUEST
Of course, Luis Ortiz, he and Emmanuel Clase basically are doing their own baseball law and order right now.
Terry PlutoGUEST
But when you look at what...
Terry PlutoGUEST
Jimenez is doing or did with Toronto.
Joe NogaHOST
A couple of things that stand out to me in the evolution of Stephen Vogt over these past three seasons is there's a consistent theme of overcoming some sort of adversity during the season.
Joe NogaHOST
Last year, obviously, well-documented with the Emmanuel Classe, Luis Ortiz, ordeal that the team had to sort of and that sort of helped him unify the team.
Joe NogaHOST
You know, everybody sort of had a common purpose, a common goal, and they they ran down the Tigers and won the division there.
Joe NogaHOST
This year, it was the injuries that they had to overcome in June, you know, sticking together, staying afloat for five weeks until they got their main guys back and then making the adjustments after the trade deadline to what the new lineup looked like.
Jeremy WolfHOST
I have thoughts.
Jeremy WolfHOST
Emmanuel Clase, all-star closer for the Guardians, and his teammate Luis Ortiz last year both were charged federal wire fraud over an alleged illegal gambling scheme.
Jeremy WolfHOST
Charged, alleged, not convicted.
Jeremy WolfHOST
This week, new filings from federal prosecutors in New York laid out for the first time the specifics of what they claim happened.
Jeremy WolfHOST
Per Front Office Sports, federal prosecutors say Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase rigged eighteen pitches for gambling purposes across three seasons, including one pitch in the twenty twenty-four playoffs.
Jeremy WolfHOST
Clase and teammate Luis Ortiz were charged last year with wire fraud over the alleged roles.
Jeremy WolfHOST
These are allegations in a federal filing.
Jeremy WolfHOST
The case has not been decided yet.
Gary MorganHOST
Yeah.
Anthony MurphyGUEST
So there's, there's a lot of talent on that r- Uh, Luis Ortiz spent some time on that team.
Anthony MurphyGUEST
Um, Adrian Florincio, he was like the f- uh, minor league pitcher of the year that year.
Anthony MurphyGUEST
Um, so that was a very talented, uh, roster there.
Brian BergerHOST
The New York Times reported that late Thursday evening, the U.S. Department of Justice has launched a probe into the Clippers and Steve Ballmer.
Brian BergerHOST
The investigation is in a preliminary stage, but it's being led by Eastern District of New York, the same district overseeing the gambling and poker scandals that have gotten Terry Rozier and Kelsey Billups, as well as Guardian pitchers Emanuel Closset and Luis Ortiz in a lot of trouble.
Brian BergerHOST
If you're Steve Ballmer, you don't want that.
Brian BergerHOST
You don't want the feds looking at things because now they have subpoena power that the NBA doesn't have.
Jacob GramegnaHOST
Agreed.
Jacob GramegnaHOST
Next in the chopping block, a little update on Emmanuel Classe and Luis Ortiz.
Jacob GramegnaHOST
We talked about them on the show quite a while ago now.
Jacob GramegnaHOST
It probably was big enough that we talked about it on both shows, but I remember it specifically being on the Thursday show.
Jake MintzHOST
Missed it by surrounding air.
Jake MintzHOST
Um, I said that Luis Ortiz of the Cleveland Guardians would return [laughs] from his gambling investigation and appear in a game.
Jake MintzHOST
But nope.
Jordan ShustermanHOST
I think, if I recall, the premise here was somehow it will be very quickly confirmed that it was all Clase's fault, and [laughs] Ortiz would for some reason-
NeilHOST
Yeah, no, that's entirely fair.
NeilHOST
I mean, it's I've always I've kind of dubbed it the Luis Ortiz role before he became a starter.
NeilHOST
But I really like having a guy who can come in for those two innings or so steady a ship, whether that be an opener for someone or in that fifth or sixth inning, fourth or fifth inning.
NeilHOST
And so I really enjoyed him being on this team because he does fill a niche role that I think the Pirates have found a lot of success with over the last couple of years.
Anthony DiNardoHOST
The Pirates have done it.
Anthony DiNardoHOST
They've done it way back with Oviedo, with Luis Ortiz, right? Then it was Carmen.
Anthony DiNardoHOST
You had these pitchers that would come up and they would give them two to three multiple innings and There's great value in that, and they were successful in those roles.
Anthony DiNardoHOST
So, I mean, with the Pirates and the pitching, the young staff and stuff, there's a lot of value in this multi-inning reliever, and that was what you thought karma was going to be, and it really wasn't this year, at least to the level and in the way that it should have been.
