no surprise if he was betting but they should get the story straight. paid off his friends gambling debt or money was stolen, cant be both. If there was a debt then he was given credit (interpreter or Ohtani) . If he paid off his debt then it wasnt stolen and why would he let his interpreter have access to his financial accounts? (if stolen)
I have good friends but they dont have my bank or brokerage account info.
MLB hates this due to Rose banned and if Ohtani was betting then Rose has to be reinstated if Ohtani stays in
