Shohei Ohtani the new Pete Rose?

[King Poetic]

Suspend him for the rest of the preseason without pay

We need this nikka in the top of lineup this year and pitching because Yama look like he won’t be able to handle MLB bats

He can't pitch this year

Is Shohei Ohtani another Pete Rose? Dodgers star may be in legal trouble if he paid gambling debt

Major League Baseball has had gambling issues, from the 1919 Black Sox scandal to Pete Rose's ban from the game in 1989. Will Dodger Shohei Ohtani be next?

They don't even try to word it differently.

This will save him

The rule ohtani might have broken. Rule 21 section 3. I haven't seen it posted here. Mlb needs to come down with a long suspension, because the rules are very clear, and posted in every major league clubhouse.

1) Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has no duty to perform, shall be declared ineligible for one year.

(2) Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform, shall be declared permanently ineligible.

(3) Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee who places bets with illegal book makers, or agents for illegal book makers, shall be subject to such penalty as the Commissioner deems appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances of the conduct. Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee who operates or works for an illegal bookmaking business shall be subject to a minimum of a one-year suspension by the Commissioner. For purposes of this provision, an illegal bookmaker is an individual who accepts, places or handles wagers on sporting events from members of the public as part of a gaming operation that is unlawful in the jurisdiction in which the bets are accepted.

Just reading the rule, paying off gambling debts looks like a 1 year suspension

Has @Absolut weighed in on this?

Not on here yet, but there’s 2 plausible scenarios. No bookie is giving someone without the means a 5 mil credit line. You get extended what they know you can pay. So that rules out that the interpreter was betting on his own, and that rules out that the bookie was fine with the interpreters word he would just “steal” ohtanis money to pay the debts. So we are left with either ohtani doing the wagering, or ohtani giving the guy his blessing for betting and squaring up his debts by wiring a payment directly to an illegal bookie from his bank (wire fraud at the very least). It won’t end well for
Ohtani

Pete Rose might get some vindication out of all of this if Ohtani is dirty.

I’m surprised he hasn’t said anything yet, I guess he’s getting ready to start his campaign.

This is what getting in to bed with all these gambling apps/ startups looks like and it's going to get worse going forward. They might as well allow it.

It'd be one thing if you're betting that youre going to win, but betting to lose and throw games or under perform to cover lines is just
