Shohei Ohtani's Interpreter and Teammate Involved in Gambling Scandal
May 18, 2024, 11:25 AM
Shohei Ohtani is embroiled in a gambling controversy involving his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, who allegedly bet on baseball games. Reports indicate that Ohtani's interpreter and best friend used the same bookie, raising questions about Ohtani's awareness of the activities. Despite claims from Mizuhara and federal investigations confirming Ohtani did not gamble, the scandal has cast a shadow over Ohtani's reputation. Tim Donaghy, a noted expert on betting, suggested that Ohtani 'absolutely' knew about the betting. Additionally, MLB is investigating David Fletcher, a former teammate of Ohtani, for gambling activities. Ohtani was reportedly robbed of millions by Mizuhara, as highlighted in the latest reporting from TishaESPN.
