Doesn't stop people from making him out to be some victim of the evil, sanctimonious sports media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 It's hilarious to me that Ohtani wanted to control and be uber private the way his FA saga played out and then this hapens and he's in a media firestorm lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of news story, and the direct relation, no, not at all. The retirement was, but the connection to gambling wasn't. They were able to contain and control the narrative a lot easier then. I'm not quite old enough to remember Pete Rose, when it happened, but I can remember not long after, so I don't know how Ohtani compares to that, but with Jordan I remember pretty well. The shock of the retirement overshadowed everything else. That's what was in the headlines. The gambling narrative was on the fringes, and the general sports fans didn't have a way to get it out there the same way. News outlets weren't really targeting that portion of the story like they can't avoid now, so it was treated as more of a conspiracy.

Danger Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I don't really care, just need to see consistency between Ohtani and Pete Rose, however this is concluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think consistency is? The problem with Rose is he bet on baseball, and even on his own team. If all he did was gamble on other sports (illegally) then it would have been a fine, maybe a minor suspension. There is nothing right now to suggest any bets were placed on baseball, let alone that Shohei did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Over $16 million transferred out of Ohtani’s accounts. Feds reviewed 7 years of text messages and found no evidence that they discussed betting or covering that money in those texts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s similar to the Jaguars employee with the virtual credit card, but it has a human factor in it that he defrauded a person who he pretended to be a friend to for over a decade. This should be a sign to people that they need to double-check their finances, personal and business. You never know what could be going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the rare times he does he probably isn't keeping close tabs on the what is coming in when between his baseball contract and many endorsement deals. so even if it is off by a million or 2 that easily can be within a range that seems right. Multiply that over several years and it isn't that hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiply that over several years and it isn't that hard. Especially if you trust the guy. And clearly, Ohtani did, to the point where he set everything up when he came over. Also, we look at this as millions, but comparatively speaking, that’s probably hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars for us. Most of us don’t follow our accounts that closely. I can also tell you tons of work stories where stuff was missed and people tried to steal, or the office mis-categorized things on the P&L. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was absolutely an addict who was basically handed an "unlimited cocaine fountain" and proceeded to do what that entails. Just sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
