'I never bet on baseball or any other sports or never have asked somebody to do that on my behalf,' Ohtani said.
Five days after his representatives accused his longtime translator Ippei Mizuhara of “massive theft,” superstar on Monday addressed the gambling scandal that has rocked Major League Baseball and captivated much of the international sports community. For about 11 and a half minutes, Ohtani read a statement that was broken into chunks so that, every few sentences, new translator Will Ireton could translate Ohtani’s Japanese into English.
“So Ippei has been telling everybody around that Ippei has been communicating with Shohei on all of this account — to my representatives, to the team — and that hasn’t been true. “The first time I knew about this gambling, Ippei’s gambling, was after the first game when we had the team meeting in the clubhouse. “So during the team meeting, obviously, Ippei was speaking in English and I didn’t have a translator on my side.
