MLB is proactively addressing the impact of recreational sports gambling on the integrity of baseball.

Commissioner Rob Manfred stresses the importance of safeguarding against compromise of individual players.

The league boasts a dedicated integrity and compliance team and enforces a strict anti-gambling policy among players.

Legalized sports betting has made it easier for MLB to monitor and regulate betting activities compared to illegal gambling.

Manfred acknowledges the unintended entry of MLB into legalized betting post-2018 Supreme Court case but sees benefits in regulation for the sport's integrity.

The commissioner expresses confidence in MLB's ability to maintain the integrity of the game amidst the changing sports gambling environment.
