Why is Pete Rose throwing shade at Ohtani?

They had receipts of Rose's gambling on baseball
No receipts that Ohtani or his interpreter placed bets on baseball games at all
I get it, I do think Rose should have been reinstated and likely would have been if he had cooperated.
Instead Rose has made a living in Vegas since then

Pete Rose is one of the biggest assholes in the history of professional sports.

An uncle (Dave Tomlin) pitched on some of the 70's Reds teams with Rose and said Pete Rose was one of the dumbest & most racist human beings he met in his time in MLB and that's saying a lot. He said back then many players cheated (I'm sure they still do) but Rose was the biggest philanderer. Needless to say he was not a Pete Rose fan!

Ohtani allowed $16 million dollars to disappear and all he had to do was check his bank statements from time to time. He should be suspended just for being a dumb arse.

Is that a dig?

That is true. But it's not unreasonable to think MLB is trying their absolute best to avoid being forced to take a hard look into Ohtani's activities. When word of Rose's gambling came to light his playing career was over and MLB still was very popular around the nation. MLB didn't NEED Rose.
Now, MLB's domestic popularity is a far cry from what it was in the 70's and 80's. However, they have a huge Asian market, led predominantly by a player in Ohtani who is arguably the best players in the game...and also in his prime. MLB does not even want to consider the thought of having to ban what is perhaps it's marquee star. One that helps generate a ton of revenue both domestically and abroad.
The current story is that Ohtani's translator...who somehow had direct access to Ohtani's bank account..."stole" $16 MILLION dollars from Ohtani to make bets without Ohtani having any idea whatsoever he was doing so. That story doesn't pass the smell test. Even if Ohtani himsel wasn't placing the bets, he was at least aware of something. A thorough investigation would probably uncover some evidence of that. Except MLB doesn't want to find that evidence because it would be bad for business...all while they have taken a decades long hard stance against Rose. I could see why he may be a bit miffed. It feels like selective outrage by MLB.

Aside from all his baseball scumbaggery, he was also a child molester and wife beater.

Because, even in his 80's, he is an attention-whore because his only source of income these days is selling autographs. Because of the Ohtani scandal and what it entails (betting and a star baseball player), this is the most attention Rose has got in quite some time... he's striking while the iron is hot.
Dude is a scumbag, but from a strictly monetary standpoint, it's a smart business move.
