Federal prosecutors released an audio clip of Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, allegedly impersonating the Los Angeles Dodgers star during a bank phone call. They also recommended a 57-month sentence.

Ohtani sent a text to Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman even before Sasaki’s agent informed the club.

The Dodgers believe the Japanese right-hander, who was introduced at a press conference at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, has the potential to be an annual Cy Young Award contender.

Federal prosecutors and former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, who stole nearly $17 million from Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani to pay for gambling debts, filed dueling briefs to U.S. District Judge John W.

Federal prosecutors released an audio recording in which they say Ippei Mizuhara impersonates Shohei Ohtani in an attempt to wire money from Ohtani's bank account.

The proposed prison sentence would also include three years of supervised release, which would likely be moot as Mizuhara would be deported back to Japan. Mizuhara seeks an 18-month term.
