March 21, 2024
L.A. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani finds himself embroiled in an illegal sports betting investigation. The Dodgers have just fired his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, after claims that he embezzled $4.5 million from the baseball star. The interpreter allegedly used the funds to pay off gambling debts from a sports bookie who's under federal investigation. Mizuhara says the baseball star knew nothing about his gambling problem. The MLB says Ohtani is not currently facing disciplinary action.
