terrysharon+FollowWhy Emmanuel Clase likely avoids max sentenceCleveland’s own Emmanuel Clase, the Guardians’ star closer, faces serious federal pitch-rigging charges, but legal experts say he’s unlikely to get anywhere near the eye-popping 65-year maximum sentence. The reason? Sentencing guidelines, past cases, and his lack of criminal history all play a role. This case is sparking debate across the city: Should high-profile athletes be treated differently in the justice system? Or is the real issue how sentencing works for everyone?
