The entire baseball world was floored yesterday when it was revealed that Ippei Mizuhara, the longtime interpreter for two-time American League MVP Shohei Ohtani had been fired by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Mizuhara reportedly took money from Ohtani and used it to place illegal bets. He even admitted to ESPN that he asked the two-way star to pay of as much as $4.5 million in debts.
This has been a shocking development around the game of baseball, and it will be interesting to see what comes of this.

The Seoul series has since concluded, but Ohtani and Yamamoto had a new interpreter present for the final game of the series. Will Ireton has taken over and he will serve as Ohtani’s interpreter and Yamamoto’s in-game interpreter.
