MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said that the "integrity of the game" is the league's No. 1 issue right now amid multiple gambling scandals involving both players and staff members this year.
Manfred made the remarks in an exclusive interview with Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News.
"It's important to say that our No. 1 issue, the single thing on which there is no compromise, is the integrity of the game on the field.
Manfred then spoke about MLB's attempts to stop sports betting in New Jersey before admitting that he doesn't foresee those states' decisions on legalization going backwards in any way.
