Cleveland Guardians assistant hitting coach Joe Torres has been hired by the Cincinnati Reds to serve as their pitching coach, according to reports on Thursday.
In other Guardians news, pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have opened a defense arguing they were deceived by a bettor, claiming that pitches bet on were called by their catchers and only incidentally aided the bettor. The defense has been met with skepticism.
Beyond these developments, the baseball world remains relatively quiet.
