Eagles would probably look at him as a slot corner.

I thought it was two 500K transfers, but his total debts were $4.5M?

From what I understand, it was the two $500,000 transfers that alerted the feds re: money coming from Ohtani's account and then it turned out there was a lot more taken.

Also important to note that neither Ohtani nor Mizuhara are part of the criminal part of the investigation.

Possible. He only played 11 games for us last season and if I remember correctly....just 2 or 3 starts.

We lost Amik Robertson to the Lions and that one pissed me off. He is a nice player and a Campbell type player.

We still have some FA cash and hope we sign a CB.

Just googled his numbers.

20 tackles in 11 games, no passes defended. Might be an emergency CB? #3 on depth chart for you guys?

So far, the story is that Ohtani knew nothing about it and was a victim. They said that Ippei Mizuhara (the interpreter) stole $4.5 million from him to cover gambling debts. The interpreter at first said that Ohtani was really mad, but agreed to cover his debt for him if he stopped gambling...but now he says Ohtani didn't know about any of it and that he stole the money.

Saw part of an interview with an interpreter and Ohtani not knowing seems plausible because interpreters get access to a lot of a players sensitive information because they help them set up bank accounts, buy houses and cars, etc.

On the other hand, it's being said that Ohtani and Mizuhara had become close friends, so Mizuharas original story about Ohtani agreeing to cover his debt seems plausible as well.

Andrew Friedman said that the Dodgers got word that something was happening and brought in Ohtani and Mizuhara. Apparently, Mizuhara "immediately apologized" and said he has a gambling addiction. Friedman said that Ohtani doesn't understand much English and really wasn't able to fully understand what had happened, but he understood enough that he started asking questions. They got a 2nd interpreter for Ohtani who explained it to him and that's when Ohtani realized the money was missing from his account.

Apparently, MLB isn't investigating it but is "monitoring" the situation. They're apparently waiting to see what becomes of the criminal investigation first.

Story sounds like bullshit.

Ohtani probably shooting dice underneath the bleachers in between innings

I agree that it doesn’t benefit the defense like it should

Harder on rebounds when no one has control
