I mean, he sent wires directly to a bookie to cover illegal gambling bets and his legal team only found out about it because the person gave a tell all interview with the worlds premier baseball journalist prompted by a state investigation

To say they started from behind would be an understatement

He for sure was placing wagers. Changing the story like that is 'mad sus'. Would suck for the game but Ohtani getting banned for life 1 game into his Dodger career would be incredible

Manfred doesn't have the balls to do it, even if they find evidence.

You can say anything you want but this could be a disaster for ohtani and the dodgers.

So Ohtani just deposits 4.5 million into a gambling account and no one on his team is aware that happened until this interview? That doesn't make sense.

You think he has kept his legal counsel in the loop on any of this from day one?

Wow

What a story. You gotta let your translator take the fall. Hopefully we find out the games that were bet on

I’m really starting to wonder if this explains that insane deferred contract.

Ohtani wiring money from his account to an illegal bookie is somehow dumber than Will Wade paying recruits out if his wife’s checking account.

Congrats WW, you are no longer the dumbest person in sports.

Glad I’ll never have to worry about this. I’ll manage my own accounts.

Also I’m a short fat guy

I don’t think a bookie would let an interpreter run up 4.5 mil?

unless the guy bluffed his salary/net worth?
