Yu Darvish cleared of connections to gambling ring

Yu Darvish has been cleared by MLB of any connection to the gambling ring his brother was involved in, according to multiple reports on Twitter.

Darvish's brother, Sho, was arrested in October in connection with running a gambling ring.  Word came out recently that MLB was looking into whether Yu had any involvement, but it appeared to be a formality, and it appears that we can now put this story to bed.

Instead, we can start counting down the days -- probably about 120 -- until Darvish returns to the mound in a major league game for the Rangers.
