NEW: Go on the "zig-zagging, 48-journey" with me as we go behind the scenes on how the #Ohtani & #Ippei story rapidly evolved this week. We have more details on what we asked and what Mizuhara and others said in response in our continuing investigation. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…
In our first interview, Mizuhara told me, "I couldn't share this with Shohei. It was hard for me to make my ends meet. I was going paycheck to paycheck because I kind of had to keep up with his lifestyle" while making $85k a year. Full story here: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…
@TishaESPN You are yellow journalist, I hope the dodgers ban you and ESPN from media credential
@TishaESPN This is absolutely nuts and the story is getting worse and worse for Ohtani. Mizuhara is definitely going to turn on him soon. How in the world do you pay your "best friend" who is literally glued to your hip $85K per year when you are making hundreds of millions?
@TishaESPN Ohtani gambled and they're trying to figure out how to cover it up, MLB included.
@TishaESPN @JeffPassan So they are trying to tell us that one of the biggest stars on the planet not only lets his interpreter have access to his bank accounts but no one from Shohei Ohtani's team of agents, financial advisors or family thought it odd he was sending $4.5M in increments as a "loan'?
