Major League Baseball reportedly is investigating whether Miami Marlins pitcher Jarred Cosart has bet on baseball.
The investigation stems from an exchange between Cosart and an apparent gambling expert on Twitter, the Miami New Times reported Wednesday.
Based on screen grabs of private messages between Cosart and the gambler, Cosart seemingly was soliciting advice on the NCAA Tournament. After the gambler made the messages public, Cosart deleted his Twitter account, the New Times reported.
MLB forbids gambling on baseball but allows it for other sports.
Cosart, 24, went 13-11 with a 3.77 ERA last season with the Houston Astros and the Marlins, who acquired him in a trade at midseason.
