In a jaw-dropping revelation, Tyler Glasnow spilled the beans on the Dodgers’ awareness of Ippei Mizuhara’s suspicious activities around Shohei Ohtani. The pitcher claimed that the Dodgers were well aware of Mizuhara’s shady maneuvers, hinting at potential foul play surrounding Ohtani. This bombshell accusation has sent shockwaves through the baseball community, raising eyebrows and stirring up controversy about what goes on behind the scenes in the world of sports.
Tyler Glasnow accused the Dodgers of being aware of Ippei Mizuhara’s questionable actions around Shohei Ohtani. This claim suggests that the Dodgers had prior knowledge of potentially unethical behavior.
Mizuhara has been accused of stealing $16 million from Ohtani’s accounts to pay off illegal gambling debts.
The story first emerged when the Dodgers were opening their season against the Padres in Seoul, South Korea.
Glasnow spoke to Jomboy Media’s Chris Rose this week and said the team believed early on that Ohtani was innocent in the ordeal and that Mizuhara was the lone culprit.
“It was nothing super formal, but we were all like, ‘We got your back,’” Glasnow said.
“I just think being in the clubhouse, everyone knew right away he had nothing to do with it. The first thing he did was like, ‘Take my phone!’ We all knew early on that Ippei was doing some shady stuff.”
Glasnow added that Ohtani has been outwardly unfazed by the incident.
“It didn’t seem like he was very stressed about it either,” Glasnow said.
“I think when you know that you’ve done nothing, it’s just a matter of time before they figure it all out. It seems like there has not been any mental sweat lost on his part, and I’m glad all this stuff has come out so he can focus. I’m sure he’ll get asked about this all year, but he’ll handle it well.”
Mizuhara was allegedly able to steal millions without Ohtani noticing by changing the Dodgers superstar’s bank settings so there would not be notifications for large withdrawals.
“Technically I did steal from him,” Mizuhara allegedly wrote on March 20 in an encrypted text message to his bookmaker. “It’s all over for me.”
Tyler Glasnow’s claims, Ippei Mizuhara’s alleged shady dealings, and the Dodgers’ knowledge of the situation are wild. The impact on team dynamics, Shohei Ohtani’s involvement, MLB’s response, and fans’ reactions – What a whirlwind of controversy in the baseball world! I hope Tyler has solid evidence to back his wild claims.
