MLB will move heaven and earth to distance Ohtani from this. He's a golden goose both in the states and internationally. And playing for their present crown jewel franchise.
He gonna be fine.
I'm assuming so as well, unless the federal investigation uncovers Ohtani being directly involved with the gambling. Might not be too much the MLB can do then. [Reply]

Gambling
Gambling on sports
Gambling on your own team
Making lineup decisions because of games you bet on (or in Pete Rose's case... Games you didn't bet on)
Throwing games for money (shoeless Joe... And if you don't believe that, check out his stats in world series games he won vs lost)
For now we don't know if shohei is Calvin ridley or Pete rose [Reply]

I agree. If true he deserves what those guys got, but i suspect if this is what it is the league would be willing to sweep it under the rug if it didn't hurt integrity of the game. And that's unfortunate for superstar treatment. But ridleys punishment was arguably a lot of more about setting an example than, say, steroids which affects integrity of the game. [Reply]
