0:00 they meet at the start of otani's professional career in Japan in 2013 I bet you they bowed sure maybe uh it doesn't say they b a comp says they might have [Music] bowed this is breaking news it's so breaking that I don't actually know what happen so we're all going to find out together because that's how Jak news does it it just happened happened basically wow it happened just well for this the fans will never know so yeah it happened one minute ago one minute ago doesn't matter cuz it's going to get up with the breaking news graphic right here all right well you could Hot Topic even if it's very fresh I did sh Otani oh yeah Mr sh baseball player Dodger
0:52 isn't he like the richest player right now the highest paid of all time he Ain going to get that money for 10 years so like sort of highest but he did that onp he did that on purpose but the highest contract okay he did that on Pur so it's a 700 million I believe for 10 years okay over 10 years but I believe the reason why he deferred payments cuz he's so F Japanese about it he's like I want to build a championship team so if you pay me what I'm do every year you're going to drain your funds so how about you pay me later but assemble a better team and get more valuable play but by the way it's not like he made 30 G's a year previous to this he was with the angels he cleaned up he made Millions so so he didn't need the money I don't know any other athlete that's down to go like oh pay me less so we can get but he's thinking long game right because he wants to win hella World Series and all
1:42 that and he had the All-Star team and on top of that maybe there's a is there anything in the contract where he's like well if I do this I also get a piece of that win no I I don't know what you said okay well yes there is a win if he has a better franchise team to be a part of and if they do succeed and happen to win you know if they win many championships it it's like the Tom Brady effect right where like Tom Brady can sign an autograph now make like $2,500 on it whereas like most NFL players couple hundred or get paid H also just to be a ████ sports newscaster yeah but but if you go on Fiverr or what's the one the one where they shot you out uh Cameo Cameo you could probably you get a you get William Hung to sing you a happy birthday song you got do a lot of work OT had to pay 30 G's to do a happy
2:33 birthday for his time so what had happened all right is uh he opens the MLB season with a Dodgers win kills it and then suddenly there's a scandal about his longtime interpreter and friend eepe mizuhara who was fired by the Dodgers after being reported to have stolen millions of dollars from the two-way fenale to cover his gambling debts I think he like stole over like 4 million or something right right lots of money I was like damn how do you steal that much that is the perfect position where he's like I'll take care of all your stuff you don't you don't know how to read English I'll take care of everything it's just like yeah how did he steal it cuz it's like he could still see numbers sometimes people have rights over your bank account and they can like power of attorne it's like I don't want to deal with ████ you you take care of it or it's like maybe he's just collecting
3:23 like certain things and just pocketing him like mad old school there was an ESPN report I like mad old school it sounds cool there was an ESPN report that said that uh it was centered on the claim that Otani had agreed to cover Mizu hara's debts and Otani spokesman reportedly claimed that only uh claimed that to ESPN only to reverse course a day later in order to get his legal team involved so like a claim had gone out and then took that ████ back yeah okay uh apparently and I'm we're discovering this cuz we're so fresh on the news J new like that okay it should be not that everyone involved in the story has said Otani does not gamble including mizuhara and the alleged illegal bookmaker involved in the story MLB players for context are not allowed to gamble on sports that are not b or are allowed to
4:14 gamble on sports that aren't baseball but not through illegal means that makes sense uh so they're denying the fact that he had a gambling debt and he did all this no no no no Otani wasn't gambling oh they're saying they they were saying maybe Otani is trying to help him nah bet which I did read on a read yeah yeah but so I don't know the truth now that's why they're considering a scandal nobody really knows because we're so fresh with the news so on came out this came out N9 days ago I mean maybe like what if he was like a Steve Green of the group and then he placed the bets for the homies so he was like the translator but also the bookie homie that like got all the players together he goes I take a money from you I take a money from you and then like they go bet for them and then
5:04 I think that would have been a great relationship and then they go Otani what are you doing and he goes I didn't do it I I didn't do anything I'm an innocent guy and then not bad yeah I think I think that's what happened so I have a timeline Prett close okay tell me the detail here in 2013 we're just going to give context because we're the news otan and muhara meet in Japan all right Nikki really no okay so uh they meet at the start of otani's professional career in Japan in 2013 I bet you they bowed sure maybe doesn't say a bowing comp says they might have bowed that's a reenactment re okay reenact that's pretty Japanese see that
