David Fletcher, who played with Shohei Ohtani with the Los Angeles Angels, reportedly made illegal sports bets through the same bookmaker as the star's former interpreter.
Ex-NBA referee Tim Donaghy, who infamously resigned over allegations of bets on games he officiated, says Shohei Ohtani had to know Ippei Mizuhara had a gambling problem.
Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter of Shohei Ohtani, will plead guilty to charges after authorities alleged he embezzled nearly $17 million from Shohei Ohtani.
