Former Mariners, Royals SS Yuniesky Betancourt arrested for allegedly staging car crash to collect insurance

Betancourt faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Considering his career fWAR of of -1.1 over the course of 9 years, I'd say he had a much more lucrative time defrauding MLB GM's of ~15.7M during his career than he did defrauding insurance of ~$61k on... this.

Seriously, his Fangraphs page is genuine eye bleach material. You can google it out of curiosity because I'm pretty sure linking it is considered a Geneva Convention violation.

After starting 0-5, the Mets are above .500! 9-3 since then.

The now 4-15 Marlins have lost all 5 series to begin the season & have yet to have a win streak of any kind.

They had the same hot start last year. Why is anyone surprised?

Jackson Holliday has had a brutal week to start his career, yikes. I wonder how long the leash will be, the Orioles are in a race for 1st, they need some production from him.

The Mets may be better than people think.

I'm not, but they at least spent a few more dollars this year, maybe Yasmani Grandal will help them right the ship upon his return

Having a healthy Diaz is going to help. I still think there are concerns there but the NL East is wide open so they have a chance to get back to the playoffs this year

It wouldn't be Mets baseball without false hope.

Mets baseball: before we punch you in the dick, we make sure you get hard first.

Day game during the week, shitty weather with 35MPH wind gusts and a shitty 3-15 team

Not surprised to see an empty stadium

Rockies gonna have to fly Spirit for the rest of the season after this.

Bam Bam couldn't get a head job piloting an MLB team, so he thought he'd try this?

Alec Bohm is cooking the very bad White Sox.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Orioles pitching is a absolute dog crap.

 

[Swervin81]

Hi!

 

[JWK]

Rockies gonna have to fly Spirit for the rest of the season after this.

They saw how big of a clown show the White Sox and A's have been and had to make sure who's the true clowns are in the league.

Mets with the series W in LA! 6 wins in a row now!

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Dodgers pitching has to be causing concern right now.

Mets just lost Alvarez with a thumb ligament injury, they don't believe it's season ending.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Zack Wheeler has no-hit the hapless White Sox through 7, but he's thrown over 100 pitches.
