Shohei Ohtani didn’t want a translator for the Dodgers championship parade.
Earlier this yr, Ohtani’s earlier translator, Ippei Mizuhara, discovered himself in sizzling water when he admitted to playing away hundreds of thousands of Ohtani’s cash.
Ohtani went on to rent one other translator to distance himself from Mizuhara and the playing scandal surrounding him.
“I by no means wager on baseball or another sports activities, or by no means have requested anyone to do it on my behalf. I’ve by no means went by way of a bookmaker to wager on sports activities.”
