prized pitching FA might just be cheeks, 700 million dollar man is the midst of a scandal that *could* shut off his lights after 1 game. Better enjoy 1-3 while they can lol

They should be worried about Shohei way more than Yamamoto. Even if Shohei is being completely honest about what happened (and his story has already changed), he and the interpreter dude are like brothers. Gotta have a big psychological impact. He helped him acclimate to the US a ton.

I'm honestly surprised this isn't already a bigger story. The initial telling of it had him sending $4.5 million to a bookie directly from an account he controlled, before it got changed to the interpreter stealing the money. Him describing that payment as a "loan" on the wire sounds like bank fraud. That is a giant scandal, even if he wasn't betting himself.

You can put literally anything in the memo line of anything. It’s not fraud.

Also - I saw it reported the interpreter made something like $300-400k/year. I understand people get in trouble with gambling and bookies extend credit, but he owed this bookie an amount of money something like 12-13x his annual salary. Just how likely is that?
