Shohei Ohtani has been baseball’s sincerest project in the last half decade. He has taken by storm and withered an unlikely rain drought for the Anaheim Angels and now Los Dodgers. If it means one clue to the disappearance of Ippei Mizuhara, it is clearly this.
Ippei was accordingly under a bookmaking scheme. Why? Why would he jeopardize his job security, future, and court legalities on Matthew Bowyer? Nobody really knows as MLB is undergoing a federal investigation but in the meantime. It begs to question the light of a betting and backstabbing society.
While Ohtani might be the one at fault, it is not hard to argue the popularity of FanDuel, ESPN Bet, and deceiving looks whether that be a poker table or interpreting words.
Ohtani is due to earn $700 million and in deferrals too so many eyes are cast upon the latest phenom and righteously so. Last year he obtained his second AL MVP trophy, especially over teammate Mike Trout.
Speaking of which, Trout recently said he is not taking the easy way out by leaving Anaheim and righteously so. However, what happened during the 2023 World Baseball Classic? And what has occurred in the past couple years with injuries?
It would be miraculous at this point for Trout to return and lead the Angels. He is not doing selfishly. Ron Washington agreed to become the Angels managers most recently.
It is not hard to figure Ohtani has surrounded himself with better teammates such as Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman but certainly not others around him.
