Ex-major-league outfielder Yasiel Puig was found guilty of obstruction of justice and lying to federal officials investigating an illegal sports betting operation, according to David Payne Purdum of ESPN. Puig now faces up to 20 years in federal prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on May 26. The 35-year-old initially pled guilty to a felony charge of lying to federal agents. He acknowledged in an Aug. 2022 plea agreement that he racked up more than $280,000 in losses over a few months in 2019 while wagering on tennis, football, and basketball games through a third party who worked for an illegal gambling operation run by Wayne Nix, a former minor-league baseball player. Authorities said Puig placed at least 900 bets through Nix-controlled betting websites. Prosecutors said Puig denied knowing about the nature of his bests in a Jan. 2022 interview, but he changed his tune months later, announcing he was switching his plea to not guilty because of "significant new evidence." In seven major-league seasons (six with the Dodgers), Puig hit .277 with 132 home runs and 415 RBI.--Keith Hernandez
