So it turns out Ohtani's former interpeter ripped off $16 million without Ohtani's knowledge - lying to Ohtani's financial advisors, changing access to Ohtani's accounts and impersonating Ohtani to banks.
Feds accuse Ohtani ex-interpreter of $16M theft
The former interpreter for Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani stole $16 million over more than two years from Ohtani to pay off gambling debts to an illegal sportsbook, according to an affidavit filed by federal authorities Thursday.

Unreal performance by the Sho today.
Going into this game he only needed 2 home runs and 1 steal to get 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases for the season - he got both today with a video game type performance.
Having this type of season while healthy would be insane, but he did this while still rehabbing from an elbow injury.

So many traditionally non-baseball people watching baseball because of this guy (like me). He makes it look easy. Shohei mania is in Japan obviously but have been to Taiwan and Malaysia recently, and his face is everywhere.

Was at the Mariners game last night - to watch them clinch the Division; as well as Cal Raleigh hit not just his 59th, but also 60th, home run of the season, along with all sorts of other records.
Was rather fun... never been to a World Series?... THIS is our year... Seize the Moment, Tridents Up, "Might as well go win the whole fucking thing", and all of that.
Pretty gutted I had a rather high-profile meeting relatively early this morning - town was going off. But I was sensible, and was home in bed by 1am. -
Nice. I've always had a soft spot for the Mariners, and used to like watching them with Junior, Randy Johnson and Edgar MartÃnez. My only live MLB game was Seattle@Toronto so I got to see Ichiro Suzuki. The Blues Jays being the team I first followed from the early 1990s.
