Former Major League Baseball umpire Pat Hoberg has been fired after sharing sports betting accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games, according to Commissioner Rob Manfred. An investigation found that the friend placed 141 baseball bets totaling over $200,000, but no evidence was found of Hoberg directly betting on or manipulating games. Hoberg’s poor judgment in sharing accounts and deleting messages led to his termination.
