Gotta make sure that scapegoat is right and proper sacrificed.Sounds like he was always a bad character. He lied about college and past work experience.
Ohtani's former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, had inaccuracies in public biography
Increased scrutiny on Mizuhara reveals that key points of his publicly available biography appear to be either exaggerated or inaccurate.theathletic.com
Yeah, should definitely suspend someone indefinitely before there is any proof of anything. Worked out great against Bauer.
The fact it is standard operating procedure for anything like this, including Bauer, but isn't being done here tells you how badly MLB just wants this story to go away.
I can agree the SOP is bullshit. But for the SOP to apply in this situation and MLB to just ignore it because it's Ohtani is whole other level of bullshit.
Going with the most unbelievable version of events.... this will certainly work out well....
I also want to know the name of the bank Ohtani was using that allowed millions of dollars to be transferred out of his account without his knowledge. I can't get $500 out of an ATM without my bank putting a hold on my account and forcing me to call their customer service
There's no version of events that doesn't require Ohtani to be a fucking retard so they're all believable atm.
Yes but they are going with the version that requires Ohtani to be a retard, the bank to be incompetent, and the interpreter to be Satan.
I think this is just a little bit over the top. There have been numerous stories of famous people getting taken advantage of because they trust those close to them. Sure they may be retarded for trusting them, but it just isn't that far of a reach as you're making it out to be.
I'd say it's more accurate to say it's the least believable scenario, not the most unbelievable. I still think he was paying Mizuhara's gambling debts, Mizuhara came clean when it came to light, then Ohtani's lawyers were like NO NO NO NO and Mizuhara agreed to be thrown under the bus to protect Ohtani from criminal liability for paying off the bookie.
