MLB: Investigation shows Jared Cosart did not bet on baseball

Major League Baseball completed its investigation into Marlins pitcher Jarred Cosart's sports-related gambling ties and found no evidence that Cosart bet on baseball. Cosart will not be suspended, but received an undisclosed fine by the league for illegal betting on other sports.

Cosart released the following statement Friday:

"I have never, nor would I ever, bet on the great game of baseball. Major League Baseball conducted a thorough investigation, and I cooperated fully with them and their investigators throughout that process. I'm sorry for any distractions this may have caused the Marlins, my teammates, coaches, and our incredible fans. I'm glad to bring closure to this situation before Opening Day and I look forward to a great season."
