Mizuhara was fired by the Dodgers for allegedly stealing millions of dollars from Ohtani to pay off gambling debts. The two-way superstar maintained he never bet on sports nor agreed to pay off Mizuhara's debt.
Ohtani said he grateful to the Dodgers for standing behind him during this difficult time, via SportsNet LA: 'I'm just really grateful and thankful the team and the personnel have supported me throughout this process.'
Mizuhara is reportedly expected to file a guilty plea amid evidence he took measures to ensure Ohtani would not discover the millions that were stolen from him.
Although the federal investigation has been completed, MLB reportedly is still planning to interview Ohtani and Mizuhara. Ohtani presumably will choose to do so as he previously expressed a willingness to cooperate with all investigations into the matter.
