March 21, 20241 yr I wonder if his "issue" had any bearing on the unusual contract he took. Like he was trying to protect himself from himself.
March 21, 20241 yr Man every time the MLB has something new and exciting to help bring in fans it always blows up in their face.

They are obviously lying about some shit as evidenced by the spokesman first saying Ohtani knew it was for gambling, before they reversed course and said Ohtani had no knowledge. at best, Ohtani needs to hire better people. And he's some friend to cover a $4.5M debt for a pal. If this is how it went down, I don't think he paid off the $4.5m cuz they're friends. He paid it off because not paying it off is an even worse option for everyone involved. We might have never known about any of this if the feds hadn't gotten interested in this particular bookie.
March 21, 20241 yr The bookie would have never let the debt get that big without knowing that it was Shohei and not the interpreter.

March 21, 20241 yr D’ohtani? the seemingly immediate karmic retribution to LAD, mlb, and ohtani for that contract is heartwarming. We shall see if there are any teeth to come or they scheme their way clear of it. Edited March 21, 20241 yr by Pato del Muerto
March 21, 20241 yr 45.00 ERA for Yamamoto 4.5 million gambling problem for Ohtani. There's a stuck on the 405 joke around somewhere.

March 21, 20241 yr Is there any way to compel the bookie to reveal if there were bets on baseball? That detail seems irrelevant to the FBI. If not then there are hundreds of millions of reasons it would never come out. Edited March 21, 20241 yr by Huckleberry
March 21, 20241 yr I’m fairly sure the FBI would be interested to know if he bet on baseball, or at least Angels games…

I bet they can compel him to say a whole lot.

March 22, 20241 yr Lol. Now we know why he got married to a woman he probably doesn’t even know. All to deflect attention from the storm he knew was headed his way. I don’t recall him ever being seen with this woman, or any other woman for that matter and all the sudden he’s married? Remember Shohei, the cover up is usually worse than the crime. Throwing your interpreter under the bus is not a good look.

March 22, 20241 yr Derp, my bad. I was thinking of the investigation into Bowyer (where it wouldn't matter), not opening an investigation into Ohtani.
March 22, 20241 yr 6 hours ago, closetohumping said: It’s akin to insider trading. No, insider trading is a violation of federal law. Betting on baseball if you're a baseball player does not violate federal law.
March 22, 20241 yr There's also the possibility of Ohtani or his interpreter guy exchanging inside info to the illegal bookie in exchange for lowering his debt. Even if they didn't place bets on baseball, that would be a huge deal.
March 22, 20241 yr Point shaving is a federal crime though for basketball. If he was betting on his own games, the FBI would be able to investigate I think.

People dont understand that while Pete Rose technically never bet AGAINST the Reds, the fact that he would bet for them 9 games out of 10 draws suspicion about the 10th game out of the 10 and the opportunity that gave his debtors to load up
