| 2026-05-18 | Needs review | claude/cowork-9167cb28 | **Phase 2 wantlist hit cleared.** MLB.com news article text retrieved via mcp__workspace__web_fetch and saved as plain text. Status held at `needs_review` rather than `verified` pending (a) Wayback snapshot capture; (b) cross-check against an independent secondary (Washington Post, Sportico, or ESPN all carried the announcement on June 4, 2024 with direct quoted excerpts); (c) reconciliation of the June 4 vs. June 6 MLB.com URL date question. |
| 2026-05-17 | Placeholder | claude/cowork-9167cb28 | Identified in the Phase 2 / Commissioner discipline category as the most significant gambling discipline action since Pete Rose (1989) — the first active-player lifetime ban for gambling since Rose, with explicit Manfred-statement framing of the post-PASPA-repeal sports-betting era. |
