Shohei Ohtani, known as the 'perfect person' in Japan for his manners and behavior, faced a setback as his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, was fired by the Dodgers over allegations of illegal gambling and misappropriation of Ohtani's funds. The law firm representing Ohtani described it as a 'massive theft.'
The Seoul Series, the first MLB games in South Korea, was intended to showcase Ohtani to a baseball audience in Asia. However, a bomb threat targeting Ohtani briefly overshadowed the event, though no explosives were found.
