With More Gambling Cases Likely, Ohtani Debacle is a Lesson to MLB
With the concern of sports betting, organizations like the MLB can do more to protect their athletes. Don Heider spoke on the case of Ohtani:
He acknowledged that if the team did quiz Ohtani, they might have been misled by Mizuhara's untruthfulness. But the Dodgers should have used other Japanese speakers on the staff — and kept fans in the loop by issuing a statement, Heider added.
"Apparently, nobody was asking any hard questions," he said.
