It has been revealed that Ippei Mizuhara, who has been acting as the interpreter for Shohei Ohtani, a star player of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball, has been dismissed from the team. This has been reported by multiple media outlets in the United States and the Yomiuri Shimbun in Japan.

The reason for his dismissal has not been clearly announced, but according to some reports, it is pointed out that Mizuhara has been illegally using the player’s income and engaging in illegal betting. Specifically, it is said that he unlawfully took out Ohtani’s funds and used them for betting.

Some reports suggest that it may have been a fairly large-scale criminal act, going so far as to say that he was orchestrating a large-scale theft scheme. If these reports are true, this is a very serious issue.

Mizuhara has been a long-term support for Ohtani. However, with the reporting of such information, the team decided to terminate the contract with him.

In response to the above incident, the Dodgers team has not made any comments until an official statement is issued. We are all waiting for the detailed developments and the truth to be revealed in the future.
