Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy claims Shohei Ohtani was aware of interpreter’s gambling issues

Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy, who served time in prison for betting on games he officiated in the early 2000s, doubts Los Angeles Dodger star Shohei Ohtani’s claim that he was unaware of his interpreter’s gambling addiction. Donaghy believes that Major League Baseball acted swiftly to cover up the situation to protect Ohtani’s image as a global baseball icon. He suspects that Ohtani may have been involved in betting on his own games, given the significant number of bets placed by his interpreter, Mizuhara.

Investigations revealed that Mizuhara had placed thousands of bets over a short period of time, indicating a severe gambling addiction. Donaghy strongly believes that Ohtani was aware of Mizuhara’s actions and may have even participated in betting on baseball games. MLB legend Pete Rose even suggested that Ohtani could have been placing bets through his interpreter.

Recent reports indicate that Mizuhara stole millions from Ohtani and wired the money to a reality TV star to cover his gambling debts. The reality TV star, Ryan Boyajian, has been cooperating with authorities and may receive immunity in exchange for his testimony. Both Boyajian and Bowyer, the illegal bookmaker, have been known to gamble together in Las Vegas and have received various perks from resorts and casinos.

Overall, the situation involving Ohtani, Mizuhara, and Boyajian has raised suspicions about potential involvement in illegal gambling activities within the world of baseball.
