Lawyers for Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz want to sever the cases against him and teammate Emmanuel Clase as federal prosecutors allege they were both involved in a pitching-rigging scheme.   Ortiz’s lawyer, Christos N. Georgalis, asked for a federal judge to break up the cases so they could move forward independently of each other while labelling his client “a victim of Clase’s scheme, rather than a knowing and willing participant,” according to a legal filing unsealed Monday and viewed by The Athletic.
