Oh, that makes sense I suppose. Still a massively weird story. I guess if it turns out that it was Ohtani doing the gambling, we know why he went to LA - he was excited about playing with Betts! Sorry

more falafel please posted:Both Ippei and Shohei are (or were as the case may be) employees of MLB clubs, they're not allowed to gamble on sports even if it is legal. turns out all the bets were 3 leg parlay's involving reba's national anthem time, new hampshire primaries, and gaza death totals

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Unless they have betting slips with Ohtanis fingerprints on them and cancelled checks like Jordan to bookies, he'll skate. A good amount of it is out of Manfred's hands if the investigation is being handled by the authorities due to the guy they were working with being a crook. They're not going to look the other way at Ohtani's liability because he's a big star.

To be fair, this comes right after Grant dumping a lot of his old fantasy team names which rely heavily on deep name puns. Like this... https://twitter.com/GrantBrisbee/status/1770321943604133981?s=20

Dinosaurs! posted:Ohtani my man you could have placed those bets at an actual casino Well most gambling is super illegal in Japan so shady bookies is what you’d need to use if you want to bet on sports there. And maybe old habits die hard even now living in Gamblepalooza.

Just have Ohtani do a commercial for one of those gamblers addiction assistance hotlines and have him say "We BET we can help you" at the end of it.

Nightmare annoying scenario - it's going to be clear as poo poo that it was Ohtani betting and since they sure as Hell aren't going to ban him for life it's going to lead to Rose getting reinstated. Also - coworker just showed this to me. Basically MLB Wordle of a sort. https://www.mlbpickle.com/

I like to laugh about this Dodgers poo poo but it's basically still spring training and for this particular game they had to fly across the world beforehand. I think we need to see a lot more before we start calling him a bust.

He probably declined the invite because it was conditional upon "you're not allowed to say anything to anybody, do not open your mouth until you're out of Fenway"
