I'm likely naive, but I honestly believe him. I think he gave his interpreter way too much unbridled access and he was taken advantage of.

This 100% is different for a quote from Ohtani gave through his people just last week.
But the spokesman for Ohtani confirmed it then they all walked it back. So Ohtani just found out something he knew about already? https://t.co/7kN6EtDhpH pic.twitter.com/EwtzIj1OPy

That should be looked at but the story now is that all the quotes are coming from the interpreter saying what Ohtani supposedly said.
Am I reading this correctly?
"I just learned a few days ago about this thing I agreed to pay a few months ago."
"I just learned a few days ago about this thing I agreed to pay a few months ago."
Last time I sent a wire I had to show multiple forms of ID to prove it was my account I was sending it from.
There is 0% chance he didn't know he was wiring money.
He's flat out lying when he said he didn't know about this.

Did the interpreter have power of attorney?

That bank has signed forms. Someone signed them. It would be interesting to know who.
And if he gave his interpreter that power, well I've already said that his claim was going to be that he was weapons grade stupid. That would be strong evidence to back me up.

I think the days of giving somebody 30 or older the mega deal are done. Guys like Tucker, Soto and anybody under 26/27 will be the ones that could get them.
Yeah, I think teams are starting to take notice about how we and the Braves did it to start where we extended our young guys earlier and then let them walk when they hit free agency. The Braves have obviously done a better job of that but I think about how we extended Bregman and Yordan as examples
We have extended Altuve 2 or 3x, Alvarez, Gurriel, Bregman, McCullers, Javier, Verlander, and made offers to Keuchel & Correa. We haven't been paying guys for 10 years after their rookie seasons, but over the last decade Crane has done an excellent job keeping a good amount of players thru their prime without paying the backside.
He's made a few more recent mistakes paying for old guys, but they're been fairly short term.

Interpreter is fully under the bus at this point. I see 3 options, ranked from most to least likely:
1a. (45%) Ohtani is a lying scumbag and has now falsely accused someone he counted as a friend 10 minutes ago.
1b. (45%) Interpreter is handsomely rewarded to fall on the sword and face the music.
3. (10%) Ohtani is really innocent and very naive and was played by his friend.
After Mantai Teo, I don't put anything past anyone until it is proven.

Today isn't on tv WTF
This about sums it up for me
so the story is
— 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐄 (@FrankiesTwoLoud) March 25, 2024
Ohtani had ZERO knowledge, never participated with his BEST FRIEND, who he was with 24/7 365 days a year
never noticed Ippei sweating out millions upon millions of dollars.. that he doesn’t have
while they were ALONE, in the hotels and ALWAYS together
lol ok
The Cardinals are awaiting further clarity on Dylan Carlson, who suffered a left shoulder injury in a collision with Jordan Walker in today's game.
— Katie Woo (@katiejwoo) March 25, 2024
If Carlson misses time, Michael Siani would be the only remaining player currently on the projected roster who can play CF.
This is why you wrap your players in bubble wrap in these exhibition games
Ohtani didn't know anything about this just like Roger thought those were B12 shots.
The real story here is that for once the Angels aren't the ones looking like total idiots.

he won't start opening day

Whoever was pitching for the space cowboys last inning hit both Yordan and Abreu with pitches

He also had no idea when he was making those wire transfers for millions of dollars.
Ohtani was drunk when it happened, and blacked out after with no recollection.
And it happened multiple times. Very peculiar. Very bad of his translator to take advantage of him like that.
