Ex-Dodgers star Yasiel Puig to plead guilty to lying to federal authorities in sports gambling investigation
Yasiel Puig will plead guilty to one count of making false statements and pay a $55,000 fine. He will appear in court on November 15. Puy played for the Los Angeles Dodgers for six seasons. The charges stem from his involvement with an illegal gambling business run by Wayne Nix. Pui made a payment of $200,00 to cover gambling debts and placed 899 additional bets in less than three months.
