LA Dodger star Shohei Ohtani had a $4.5 million dollar withdraw from his bank account to a bookie named Matthew Bowyer. First it was said Ohtani meant for it to be payment for his interpeter and friend Ippei Mizuhara's gambling debt. Then Mizuhara said he did it himself without Ohtani's knowledge. They a spokesman said Muzuhara just stole it from Ohtani. MLB doesn't allow players to bet on baseball. California law doesn't allow sports betting at all. If Ohtani is guilty as suspected, he could and should be done in MLB. And unless there's a clause in his $700 million contract, the Dodgers are on the hook to pay Ohtani for not playing. Just like Trevor Bauer. Will the spin continue?
