Major League Baseball has handed down a stunning suspension to New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor, who has been banned indefinitely following serious allegations of violating league conduct policies.
Sources close to the situation report that Lindor is accused of involvement in a high-profile sports betting scandal, which the league has been quietly investigating for months. MLB officials have not yet released full details but confirmed that Lindor has been placed on the league’s restricted list effective immediately.
The New York Mets issued a brief statement this morning, saying:
“We are aware of the situation involving Francisco Lindor and are cooperating fully with the league’s investigation. At this time, we have no further comment.”

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is expected to hold a press conference within the next 24 hours.
