Saw someone ask somewhere else, "Wasn't Ippei being fired one of the conditions that could trigger an Ohtani opt out?"

This news dropped just before the working day in Japan, so, uh might be a fun one over here I know I've said it before but just the sheer amount of press coverage on Ohtani in Japan is unfathomable, so if this goes Real Bad... [edit] also don't forget Ohtani has massive deals with a number of blue-chip companies in Japan, doesn't matter what his salary from the Angels (or now club-friendly deal with the Dodgers) pays him, he's probably clearing $50-100 mil a year just from that. harperdc fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Mar 21, 2024 |

bawfuls posted:if this were the case it would be hard to imagine he'd defer so much of his salary He does have an untold amount of endorsement money, and the ESPN report said that the SoCal gambling operation did offer bets on credit too. Idk, to me it’s clear that Ippei looks like the fall guy given how the story has changed so quickly after his admission https://x.com/pftcommenter/status/1770598529108439264?s=46&t=EhzTvpa5Lh8bIAryRijIPQ

the other part is of course that $4.5M is peanuts to Ohtani so if he were the real gambling addict surely he'd be running up 10x or 100x that much

my experience as a sports fan is if the generational superstar that plays for your team has an insane gambling addiction it loving rules and your team wins all of the time.

Ohtani announcing he was married out of the blue is because they cant arrest a husband and wife for the same crime

Total win/loss is not a good way to measure problem gambling. And the 4.5 figure is just the money coming from this specific account that got caught, he could be in way deeper.

Can you even imagine if Manfred had to drop the ban hammer on Shohei? I don't know if this sport would survive.
