Friday, March 22, 2024 10:51PMMajor League Baseball has opened a formal investigation into the matter surrounding Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani and his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, the league announced Friday.
Ohtani also has a right to refuse cooperation as a member of the MLB Players Association. Ohtani also could invoke his right, under an interpretation of arbitration precedent, to refuse cooperation because of a criminal investigation that's already under way. Traditionally, MLB has argued he can only invoke such an exception if the player is a target, which Ohtani is not believed to be.
The announcement came two days after Mizuhara was fired as reporters pressed for questions about at least $4.5 million in wire transfers sent from Ohtani's bank account to a bookmaking operation that is under federal investigation.
