That’s what’s so strange about it. I read the other day that the interpreter earned $300k per year. That’s a good living, but to get enough credit to rack up that much debt? Something stinks.
"Hey dude, so I'm having some money issues, could you help me out?"If the translator truly was getting his gambling debt paid off, how did he intend on paying the tax penalties associated with such a large gift from Ohtani?
Pete Rose should sue MLB if nothing is done about Ohtani. And no one should ever bet on a Dodgers game if he isn't gone.If the investigation can prove impropriety, I don't think this gets swept under the rug, I think they get rid of him. Baseball's popularity is in a precarious position as it is, betting (no pun intended) it all on a 29 yrs old with a wonky elbow would be pretty stupid.
There are plenty of other players that can be the face of baseball. Star power is less of a problem than credibility.
I don't think Rose would enjoy going through the discovery process.Pete Rose should sue MLB if nothing is done about Ohtani. And no one should ever bet on a Dodgers game if he isn't gone.

lol on what grounds?Pete Rose should sue MLB if nothing is done about Ohtani.
That isn't the issue, nor his real concern.Ohtanis saving grace is he/the interpreter werent betting on baseball games, unlike Rose.

The issue is whether or not he committed a federal crime by wiring the money. This is the reason his story changed.
On the bright side, if found guilty, he will still be able to play baseball in a Bureau of Federal Prisons league. Or, after his visa is cancelled and he is deported he could go to Mexico, Japan, or the middle east.
A foreign national who committed a felony? I am a little rusty on this, name one...Committing a crime is not something that gets you a lifetime ban, players have gone to prison and returned to play, some for multiple years

Both of those guys were American.I specifically said that committing a crime did not warrant a lifetime ban, obviously if he is deported he would not be able to play, but considering it was not a violent crime, I think it is very possible that he would not be deported, based on the info here, I would say that whatever crime was committed probably does not fall into the Aggravated Felony category that would lead to deportation for Ohtani, it likely would for the interpreter as it would be considered a theft over $10K
