I love mornings when there are many posts which I didn’t have anything to do with. Mark Shapiro spoke to reports about the renovations on Rogers Centre. The main points: This Shohei Ohtani thing is interesting and reminds me of Pete Rose. At first, we were told that Ohtani’s interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, ‘stole’ $4.5 million from Ohtani, which seemed hard to believe. Ohtani is rich, but you would think he would notice someone taking $4.5 million from him.
I can’t see why he would do that unless Ohtani was being strong-armed into it. “Hey, boss, I’ve had a little run of bad luck. Could you help me out?”. But then, if you are a bookie and you have a guy who makes maybe $75,000 to $100,000 a year, would you let him get $4 million+ in debt to you? I’ve never used a bookie, but I would think that $4.5 million unpaid would severely cut into a bookie’s profits.
