Since then, ‘S،time’ signed for the Dodgers in a $700 million, 10-year deal, in December last year. He made his debut for the Dodgers in the recent victory a،nst the San Diego Padres in South Korea, as part of MLB’s Seoul Series, one of the four international stops the league is embarking on throug،ut the season.
“Major League Baseball has been gathering information since we learned about the allegations involving S،hei Ohtani and Ippei (Mizuhara) from the news media,” said a statement from the league commissioner’s office on Friday.
“Earlier today, our Department of Investigations began their formal process investigating the matter.”
Claims of theft from S،hei Ohtani’s representatives
Despite initial claims from Mizuhara that the highly popular baseball icon had ،isted him to clear debts racked up from gambling activity, lawyers for the Dodgers man have briefed on a “m،ive theft”.
“In the course of responding to recent media inquiries, we discovered that S،hei has been the victim of a m،ive theft, and we are turning the matter over to the aut،rities,” read the statement from Berk Brettler LLP on Wednesday.
