According to sources close to the situation, Mizuhara was terminated by the Angels organization after Ohtani’s representatives accused him of stealing millions of dollars to cover his own gambling debts. Mizuhara had been working with Ohtani since his arrival in the United States in 2018.

The scandal took a further turn when Mizuhara admitted to placing bets with Matthew Bowyer, an illegal bookmaker operating out of California who is currently under federal investigation. Bowyer is accused of running an illegal sports betting operation that has allegedly taken in millions of dollars in wagers from high-profile clients, including several MLB players.

 

The extent of Ohtani’s involvement in the scandal is still unclear, but sources indicate that he may have unknowingly paid off Mizuhara’s gambling debts.
