BREAKING NEWS: Dodgers SUPERSTAR Shohei Ohtani FIRES Interpreter over GAMBLING

[@thehogwatch]

this is a huge story....

[@nando3903]

Dodgers live in your head rent free

[@Matthew-xg8in]

Dodgers fan here. This scares the shit out of me.

[@qaxcgyujm]

I just hope Ohtani wasn't involved, guys the most exciting player in baseball. I'm not a Dodger or Angels fan but he was the only reason I watched the Angels last year and will be the only reason I'll watch the Dodgers at all.

[@imwinningbxch]

Same he's too good for the game ​@@qaxcgyujm

The government doesn't like when you get too much money. Need me to get a little bit of power. Gambling is legal in California. Gambling barely should be legal in all states.

[@imwinningbxch]

@@LennyMolnar-rs8df gambling is not legal in California lol which is obviously part of the issue here guy

[@Matthew-xg8in]

@@LennyMolnar-rs8df I’m more worried about Ohtani “Pete Rose-ing” himself.

[@noahs9866]

Shohei’s personality wouldn’t allow him to gamble. That’s not who he is

[@chuckratz4056]

They say the same things about Bundy, Gacy, etc. but we know how they turned out ..

[@Johnyyjj]

Padres fans think Ohtani not gonna play no more.

[@hopespringseternal2624]

I am a Padres fan and I don't think that. Stop lying!

[@phil4006]

Did Ippei sneak in and cut cronenworths glove to reduce the amount he owed? Pull-up the security cameras. .. -trusted mlb insider Lol

[@LEMON-818]

lol cuz Ohtani needs money!! Ur right U DONT KNOW!!!

[@boxofwine8001]

Something don’t smell right here. How does an interpreter still millions form an MLB player? But Ohtani makes the league Millions. MLB will never let Ohtani go down for this if he was involved.

[@andyapsay8220]

I dont know man, but this reminds me of the fiasco of Michael Jordan and his dad. Dad took the bullet for his son. Son eventually temporarily retired from basketball.

Borna you are just hating my boy. I like the energy but Othani is not that kind of guy.

[@tonylee3091]

Sounds like he can opt out

[@Dodgers-sw2uk]

2:07 that Friedman and Mark Walter. There is not opt out based on the interpreter

[@omgbygollywow]

The Dodgers fired Ippei. Not Shohei. Get your facts straight.

[@explosivediarrhea4671]

Ohtani needs to be suspended for the season

[@JohnNouzen]

Shohei’s involvement, ya dumb nut.

[@qaxcgyujm]

​@@explosivediarrhea4671if he was involved yes but it'll come down to if the MLB can prove that. I just hope Ohtani doesn't become another Pete Rose situation.

Hog starting some rumors lol

[@ADM-wt9cn]

its a valid question when an interpreter makes 150k max and has somehow gambled 4.5 million... or that there story has changed three times. Would make a little more sense for a bookie to allow a debt that big if you know its shohei on the other line making the bets. also pretty strange to just cover 4.5 million for a "friend" but your right Hog's takes are total rumors and shohei has no idea any of this was going on at all, shohei also doesnt look at his bank account too, and never knew about any gambling deals from his best friend interpreter. Sounds totally believable.

[@hopespringseternal2624]

@@ADM-wt9cn You can't prove half of what you are saying! Stop assuming things! What a hypocrite! You say Hog's takes are total rumors and they may be. But YOUR take may be a total rumor!

[@ADM-wt9cn]

​@@hopespringseternal2624 You missed my sarcasm there but doesn't matter. I cant prove anything that is correct, need to hear from the 700 million dollar man or 696 million dollar man now that his balance is settled with a bookie lol

[@Dodgers-sw2uk]

the bets weren’t on baseball

[@rayfinkle9369]

I'm not sure of the details, but I'm sure there's no way the MLB lets their golden goose go down. He's brings in too much revenue.

[@nando3903]

This guy covering baseball or trying to be tmz?

[@TrunkDaPhunk]

Padres lose Snell and Soto. Lose first game of the series. A little salty?

[@shrekislove1509]

I think the initial story Ippei told ESPN was accurate, but it implicated Ohtani, which is why the lawyers disavowed the story the next day.

[@jackieward3032]

You need to speak English then this willn't happen.

Padre and giants fans loving this bullshit

[@hopespringseternal2624]

I am a Padres fan and I am not loving this!

[@qaxcgyujm]

This thing is bad for baseball as a whole. It doesn't matter what fanbase you're a part of. Ohtani is the global face of the sport atm.

[@jesusmendez1314]

Who cares about this rumor. Let’s stick to our team instead focusing on others.

[@RickKanesGhost]

Nice Dahmer glasses

[@jakobhernandez6104]

I highly doubt Shohei was involved tbh ….. BUT, IF he was, that makes me wonder, in that scenario, how much the Dodgers may have known, or tried to help Shohei “scapegoat” his interpreter?? Wild story, as a baseball fan I hope Shohei is clear

[@DrGODofTHUNDER]

Shohei wire transferred money to pay off his friends illegal gambling debt... No, Shohei didn't gamble himself (PROBABLY) but it's still bad for him. Suspension incoming most likely

[@zhc2200]

So there’s speculation that ohtani knew about ippeis addiction and ohtani gave 4 millions dollars to pay his debt. But ippei is saying ohtani has no involvement whatsoever. Also, these theories of Ippei being the fall guy for Ohtani is hilarious. Ohtani is a world class athlete. Why would he even gamble?

[@thegodfatheroftoys3349]

Ask Jordan, Rose, and countless other athletes

[@omgbygollywow]

Shohei doesn’t care about money. He only cares about baseball.

[@FlyPastAll]

His circle of friends should of that same mind set and knowing that this could hurt Ohtani

[@omgbygollywow]

You are making foolish and unfounded insinuations. What are you basing your suspicions on?

[@jonahahumada1257]

Dude STOP BEING SAULTY DUDE!!!!! The dude way smarter than that!!!!!

[@chuckratz4056]

He’s not being salty dude. If he was smarter why did he pay off his interpreters debt knowing it could get back to him? I would tell the interpreter I dont want anything to do with this situation.

[@LennyMolnar-rs8df]

Who cares. I live in Vegas. Gambling should not be illegal. Pete Rose was a gambler and he lost everything. If you're not betting against your team nothing I should happen.

[@hopespringseternal2624]
