The only reason I can think of the media not going after the real story is because he's a minority/foreigner.

They are definitely going to try and protect Ohtani and the Dodgers.

Ohtani's translator was betting on other sports. Not baseball. Wouldn't you agree?


Sure…his “translator.”

The Feds are involved so MLB may not have a choice.

As long as he wasn’t blatantly throwing games, I’m fine with them protecting him.



Nah, even if he was still playing straight up while betting on games, you can't protect him. That would create a hellacious slippery slope.

With that said, I still think the only thing he did wrong was directly wire money to an illegal bookie to cover Ippei's debts... and then did a terrible job of trying to cover it up after the fact. Morally, I don't think that is anywhere close to being as bad as him betting on games he played in.

Problem is that it's still a federal crime.

I gave you an up vote for proper use of this phrase alone.

Too bad they already used granting immunity to get to the bottom of it. Should have saved that play for something like this.

Madrid 3-30-24.

Dear Sir – Although I know you only from good references of your honesty, my sad situation compels me to reveal you an important affair in which you can procure a modest fortune saving at the same time that of my darling daughter.

Before being imprisoned here, I was established as a banker in Russia as you will see by the enclosed article about me of many English newspapers which have published my arrest in London.

I beseech you to help me to obtain a sum of 480,000 dollars I have in America and to come here to raise the seizure of my baggage paying to the registrar of the court, the expenses of my trial and recover my portmanteau containing a secret pocket where I have hidden the document indispensable to recover said sum.

As a reward I will give up to you the third part, viz., 160,000 dollars. I cannot receive your answer in the prison, but you must send a cablegram to a person of my confidence who will deliver it to me.

Awaiting your cable to instruct you in all my secret, I am sir,

A. DEMIDOFF

This might be the funniest post I’ve ever read. I’m assuming it’s sarcasm.
