"MLB Investigates Allegations Surrounding Shohei Ohtani's Interpreter"

MLB has launched an investigation into the allegations surrounding Shohei Ohtani's interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, who is accused of "massive theft" and involvement in illegal gambling. The scandal involves conflicting narratives about Ohtani's supposed payment of $4.5 million in gambling debts for Mizuhara, leading to Mizuhara's firing by the Los Angeles Dodgers. The IRS is also investigating Mizuhara and the alleged illegal bookmaker. Ohtani's former teammates express shock and disbelief, denying the theory that Ohtani himself was involved in gambling.
