Report: Former Minor Leaguer Peter Bayer Made Over 100 Baseball-Related Bets in 2020

Investigators for MLB contend former minor league Peter Bayer placed more than 100 wagers between May and August 2020, according to The Athletic's Stephen J. Nesbitt.

On Feb. 15, Bayer said he had been on MLB's ineligible list since the start of the 2021 season. He admitted to legally betting on games in 2020 after the minor league season was canceled but "never once bet on baseball when physically playing."
