Face it. The interp had a dick job and pissed it all away due to greed. Maybe if he cuts Manfred's grass for the next 100 years he'll get a pass?

Not sure if this has been said yet… But did the interpreter work for Ohtani or the ball club? If Ohtani, then he could just 1099 him for all that money and take that off his adjustable gross, could he not? It wouldn’t be a criminal act if Ohtani didn’t file charges and would look good for the Japanese code or something along those lines.

I'm pretty sure he was employed by the Dodgers since everything I've read talked about hom being fired by the Dodgers.

This is correct. He was paid by the Dodgers...over 300K a year the guy was making. I think it is standard practice that the team covers the cost of an interpreter.

My understanding is that he has been with Ohtani since before his time with the Angels (?) so I'm sure Ohtani's deal was $2 mil a year + Mizuhara + etc.

According to the ESPN article, Mizuhara got around $85K per year from the Dodgers.

The next question I'd ask is this:

How could all of this affect Shohei's contract with the Dodgers?

Meaning, how much did the two sides rely on Mizuhara as the interpreter? Is Shohei fully aware of all the details in the contract?

If Mizuhara pulled any shenanigans in the negotiation of the contract, what will happen to it?

Per an ESPN article yesterday:

Mizuhara had a contract with the Los Angeles Angels when Ohtani played there and signed with the Dodgers this offseason. Mizuhara confirmed to ESPN he has been paid between $300,000 and $500,000 annually.

I would think that Ohtani's agents and lawyers were more involved with the contract negotiations than his interpreter would have been.
