To me, this just has the smell of a big coverup. Lawyers all over this before the news broke. Multiple stories. If Ohtani did indeed wire money, i have to think he has some culpability unless Ippei held a gun to his head. Something tells me MLB and Manfort will try to protect their biggest "Commodity'. Stock up on popcorn everyone, this should get interesting.

random comment from Facebook that got almost 2,000 likes:

The Commissioner’s Office will dip and dive around these accusations. They don’t want to lose their most globally marketable player, or hurt the Dodgers.

Reps for Ohtani want to look into massive theft now. Money was wired like over 5 months ago. Who are these reps?

How does anyone validate that claim, since betting on baseball is illegal in Japan?

People follow laws?

Can you imagine if the Angels had extended Ohtani? What a clusterfuck.

What bookie (Yakuza) is going to show his notes with a $1M bet that he lost?  

I would be more inclined to believe this if the bet were made at MGM or Caesars.

IDK if that post is BS or not.  Probably so.  But what's interesting about that game is that Shohei pitched that day and had a shutout going until the 7th inning.  In a tie 0-0 game, he gave up 6 runs in the 7th.  Angels go on to lose 8-1 and this supposed bet was won

@cals  Wasn't Bauer suspended during his "investigation"?

[rafibomb]

I am going to enjoy this as much as possible right now because in the end absolutely nothing of consequence will happen to Ohtani or the Dodgers.

Yes, you have to go by the precedent here, too. 

[fan_since79]

If Ohtani was really gambling on baseball then this is the biggest bullet Arte's ever dodged.

Dodger season might be done before the end of the month.

You really can't make this stuff up.

If it were entirely up to MLB I'd agree, but there is another three letter entity that has a say.
