“Prelude to Otani and Ippei Mizuhara’s permanent banishment from MLB”

I'm sure they don't know about the 1989 incident in which Pete Rose was permanently banned from MLB for gambling, but I have no idea unless I look at history books. It appears that Mizuhara Interpreter consulted with Otani and had him send money to Tomoto to settle his illegal gambling debt, but before the media could report it, Otani's lawyer for the Dodgers accused him of theft. Later, Mr. Mizuhara Interpreter retracted his previous statement, and someone instructed him not to get involved with Mr. Otani, and he is inexplicably upset as he has not even sent money. The question then becomes who is the party who sent the money? I believe that MLB will carry out a thorough investigation with their prestige at stake, but if the only thing that proves Mr. Otani's innocence is Mr. Mizuhara's post-retraction statement, it will be difficult to find an alibi to reverse the fact that he sent the money. . Therefore, Mr. Otani has an obligation to state the truth from beginning to end for the sake of his many fans. If things continue like this, we won't be able to play for a season. Unless Otani proves his innocence, MLB may blame him. From the Dodgers' point of view, they have just made a huge investment in Otani, and I think they may have no choice but to impose a gag order due to family circumstances. What is worrisome is the retraction of the statement by the Suwon Interpreter Hall overnight. There are many possible explanations for this, but it is likely that the wording before the retraction is correct. A retraction of a statement is not always enough. In the future, it is likely that doubts from the media and fans of Amerika will become even more widespread. This is not a problem that can be resolved once the letter of revocation and verbal expression of intention are completed. Remember that if you say anything, it's been 100 years. It was probably a truly sunny day for Otani-dono, but he must have had a deep bond with Suwon Interpretation-dono, with whom he had shared joys and sorrows for many years. Generally speaking, there is no problem with "giving debt to a friend," but it becomes a problem when you realize that the person you borrowed money from is involved in something illegal and help it. This is also a matter of concern for fans. What I personally don't agree with is whether Lord Otani has reconfirmed his own household finances and assets in order to welcome Princess Mamiko as his legal wife, and whether he has reconfirmed his household finances, interpreting, manager, training accompaniment, etc. We wonder if Lord Mizuhara was left in charge of his private life, how much did Lord Otani know about the reason for Lord Mizuhara's debts, and the record of large sums of money being transferred in America and Canada, where security controls are strict. There are no explanations that are satisfactory to the general public, such as whether there are any such things left. Anglo-Saxon culture, which wants to clearly define black and white, tends to exhaust discussion thoroughly. If Pete Rose is still permanently banned from the MLB world due to gambling charges, he will not be eligible for the Hall of Fame even though he has 4,256 hits and a career batting average of .303. Ichiro has a record of more than 4,257 home runs in Japan and the US, but MLB does not recognize the combined record. But it's fine. His total batting average of 0.311, 200 or more hits for 10 consecutive years (Pete Rose has had 200 or more hits 10 times in 24 years, but there is no record of consecutive hits), and the most hits in a year with 262 are noteworthy. If all goes well, he will be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2025. He is really looking forward to it. For athletes, results are everything, but scandals must be avoided at all costs. In the future, all players will need to have the ability to stand by their side and manage the balance between mistrust and trust. Therefore, Otani-dono has an obligation to prove his innocence here. Regardless of the reason, the fact that a huge amount of money was transferred from Mr. Otani's account to the illegal gambling party leads to the possibility of becoming the second Pete Rose incident that will go down in history, so it is difficult to unravel the matter. It can't be done out of necessity. Fans are worried that Otani will not be able to concentrate on playing due to his mental burden, but the only thing to do for now is to wait and see what happens.
