    So it turns out Ohtani's former interpeter ripped off $16 million without Ohtani's knowledge - lying to Ohtani's financial advisors, changing access to Ohtani's accounts and impersonating Ohtani to banks.

    The former interpreter for Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani stole $16 million over more than two years from Ohtani to pay off gambling debts to an illegal sportsbook, according to an affidavit filed by federal authorities Thursday.

    Unreal performance by the Sho today.

    Going into this game he only needed 2 home runs and 1 steal to get 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases for the season - he got both today with a video game type performance.

    Having this type of season while healthy would be insane, but he did this while still rehabbing from an elbow injury.

    So many traditionally non-baseball people watching baseball because of this guy (like me). He makes it look easy. Shohei mania is in Japan obviously but have been to Taiwan and Malaysia recently, and his face is everywhere.

    The Dodgers came from 5-0 down to beat the Yankees 7-6 in game 5 to clinch the WS. Errors in the 5th inning cost NY. And they win with Ohtani being a non-factor in the WS.

    I didn't watch, but I kept an eye on the scores. Sounds like the Yankees had chances to win all but one of the games, but couldn't get the W either due to mistakes from players or the coach, and the Dodgers were good enough to capitalise

    Wow NY Mets just signed Juan Soto to a 15 year, $765M deal. Breaking the record deal Ohtani signed with the Dodgers last year.
