Wow, my mind is blown how low you guys are. Read. The. Affidavit. All your dumb questions are answered there in black and white. What don't you understand? You can't even read a 37 page affidavit that clearly explains how all this happened. It took me 1 hour to read the affidavit. You continue to make allegations, insinuations and keep reaching. If you are going to keep doing that, at least have the integrity to read the affidavit.

People are lazy and stupid. Affidavit is out and ppl rather take what they believed than fact investigated by THREE federal agency.

If i was Ohtani i sue you 3. Your talking out assess. Your doubting the FBI and the IRS

The Three Stooges hehehe hehehe😂😂😂😂 if you only listen to the press conference carefully and read the affidavit. His interpreter open the bank account for him in Arizona. That's why The Interpreter knows all the personal questions.😅

Don't kid yourself. The FBI investigation has revealed. You just don't want to admit that Shohei is so perfect and charming.

Ippei set up the account that was transferring the money. He was the gatekeeper to the account and everyone had to go through Ippei. Even Ohtani's agent, who doesn't speak Japanese, rarely talked to Ohtani without Ippei being there to interpret. Same with the bank employees and financial advisors and accountants and bookeepers and legal advisors. They all had to go through Ippei. Ippei was more than an interpreter. He was Batman's Alfred, but he was an evil Alfred.

Just admit you guys were utterly wrong and apologize and move forward. Continuing to embarrass yourself is not a good look

This is hilarious 😂😂 People just cant stand that Ohtani is so successful. Come on, just apologize

No you dont get it Kay. Why the hell would any lawyer or representative of ANY player, celebrity, or otherwise advise their client to answer questions about an active ongoing investigation? Zero! Noone would and thats what is baffling me about this whole thing. I never thought Kay was saying "hes guilty". Its this "well judge would never be able to get away without asking questions" bs that is totally off the reservation. What you want him to literally sit in front of a mic and say repeatedly "i cant comment on that as there is an ongoing investigation " over and over again?

People are defending Shohei because he is being unfairly disparaged by people like you three on no grounds or evidence. It has nothing to do with him being a Dodger. Making insinuations and saying things like, "It's still dubious..." is a coward's way of making inferred accusations. And then to deflect and say, "I was just trying to say that he should answer questions..." is really low. Clearly, they will not admit it, but they were wrong but not man enough to say sorry.

Lost so much respect for Kay thru this Ohtani coverage

Well the Feds said he didn’t gamble on baseball after looking at his betting records. Can you explain why the Feds are lying on behalf of Ippei ?

Michael Kay: "Muzahara". No, his name is Mizuhara. Also Michael Kay: "Ippy". No, his name is Ippei. Also Michael Kay: "He lost $141 million and won $100 million." No, the wins totaled $142,256,769.74, and the losses totaled $182,935,206.68. Dumb guy on the left: "...the minimum of what Ohtani is guilty of is being a rube..." Well, Dane Cook was embezzled by his own brother out of $12 million dollars over a period of 10 years. Dane Cook said he didn't pay much attention to his accounts and the only way it was caught was that he hired a new manager, and the new manager found out about the crime. Wealthy people are often too busy and delegate things to others. I guess lots of people are rubes, then. I worked in the Trust Industry (managing assets of wealthy individuals and also corporate pension funds, etc.) and stuff like this happens all the time. Lots of embezzlement goes on and it's not that difficult. A lot goes undetected. Dumb guy on the right: "How could his interpreter have access to his money? HOW!?!?!??..." READ. THE. AFFIDAVIT. It shows how Ippei did it. These guys are so obtuse and willfully ignorant when they could just read the affidavit.

Can’t wait until this guy doesn’t have a job anymore. Just admit you ran with a story and you were wrong. If you’re going to cover a story get all the facts which is in the 37 page complaint

He answers more questions now with the dodgers than he’s ever done with the angels. Wtf are you talking about?😂

If Mental health crisis in the U.S had a face it would be michael kay. dude is sad

Michael Kay has deeper issues and may want to seek professional help.

I am a yankee fan, but these guys look like Ohtani's haters. There are record call from the bank, text and more.. Ohtani is a clean man.

Michael Kay is not GLAD Ohtani is innocent. 🤣🤣

Micahel Kay saying loudly and stupidly: "Why does Shohei not have to answer questions?" Because there was an investigation going on. How many people have said to the press that they cannot answer questions because there is an investigation going on? You see it all the time. Besides, if Shohei answered questions, you would say, "Shohei is trying to influence the media! Shohei is is manipulating and hindering the investigation!" And with the obvious problems of accuracy of interpretations between languages, you don't want to muddy things even more with further inaccurate interpretations. Your entire video is full of ignorance it is amazing. Just read the affidavit for crying out loud.

That guy in the middle is completely insane! He is comparing pears with apples, every player he is mentioning are responsible for their actions, they were aware what they got in to, Ohtani didn’t, besides that was a recommendation from his lawyers, if he would had said something inappropriate you would be the first to attack him, don’t be such an a-hole.

Absolutely, Mike. IRS, DHS, Justice Department? They don't matter. Only exoneration needs to come from Michael Kay!!!

Not even a Dodger fan here, but you want someone under investigation to stand there and answer whatever question you throw at him when even he doesn’t know the scope of the damage? Any lawyer worth a nickel is going to tell their client to shut up and let the DoJ handle their business.

Even Alex Jones finds your entire take ridiculous.

Is there a law says he must answer questions from press?

The interpreter also told his accountants that Shohei would not allow them access to that bank account specifically. The accountants don’t speak Japanese. The language barrier allowed the manipulation and it’s very clear whether you guys want to admit that you were wrong or not.

Mr Kay, I bet you will believe Ohtani is totally innocent had he played for the Yankees 😂

Hey start to clean ur mess accusation cause they might sue all of u😊

If you read the report all of the people around Shohei were questioning the bank account where we now know the money was stolen from, as it wasn't inculuded in Shohei's books, as per his accountant and agent. They set up a meeting with Shohei and Ippei to ask questions about the bank account. Ippei was the only one who showed up and said Shohei was sick. Ippei did everything he could to be able to isolate this certain account. He duped the bank, manipulated Shohei and everyone around him.

Yankee organization needs to get rid of this guy

Michael Kay is a piece of work! If it were a Yankee he would have covered it entirely differently! He can’t stand the fact that the Dodgers have surpassed the Yankees as the elite organization of Baseball. Swallow your pride!

Michael Kay you should ask yourself. Did Shohei Othani gambled when he was playing in the NPO? There were no history of him doing it. And another thing as far as I know he wouldn't want to buy a house to live in. He rather lived in the dorms while making millions let alone gambled. Knowing Shohei's character. Ippei the interpreter was the one doing the gambling not Shohei. Just think about it.

new balance is making a move, suing media and personalities who are and still trying to defame, Ohtani new balance is far better than nIke, if its nike, they will cut ties asap,

These people keep saying Shohei has to answer questions. When the law is enough with criminal charges it is best to stay quiet and let the lawyer do their job.

lol. Damn just say you were wrong

The FEDS ASKED HIM QUESTIONS 5:29

Michael going out SAD haahahahaha

@TMKS Baseball News - Please apologize to Ohtani and the Japanese and Asian community at large.

Do you believe the story Ippei told? A symptom of gambling addiction is repeating lies. Ohtani is the １００％ victim, I can't believe there are people who say he gambled.Ohtani never gambles he has criticized gambling

Life is easier when you stop hating

Ippei was smart enough to know not to gamble on baseball as it would raise red flags with the bookie, who thought the bets were for Shohei. Ippei had a good thing going and did not want the bookie to have reservations about making baseball bets. As long as he bet on other things besides baseball, the bookie would ask no questions. The bookie did not want to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

Just swallow your pride and apologize. If this were Aaron Judge, he'd be singing how innocent he is.

Ohtani didn’t set up the account 😂 The interpreter did. Every question you guys ask that you say doesn’t pass the smell test is answered in the report but you continue to stay uninformed

Hey look, another big talking troll

Michael Kay show so salty that Ohtani is clean on this all along. 😂 salty Old Yankee fan

Ippei Mizuhara drew a line at gambling on baseball because baseball is what was funding his addiction, stolen or not. Losing baseball or jeopardizing Shohei Ohtani's career would cost him his cash cow.

Michael Kay you're a joke.

Based on Kay’s and company’s clear knowledge gambling, the real question is how many times he himself bet on Yankees games illegally with his own inside information on the team.

Even if Ippei had inside info on one of the worst teams in baseball (the Angels) what good would it do?? Add to that the fact that hitting a baseball is hard af to begin with... And what's the point of making Shohei available to the media when the news broke out, when all he would say anyway is, "I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO DISCUSS AN ON-GOING INVESTIGATION." ???

Michael Kay is just sore that Ohtani didn't sign with the Yankees

That damn Ippy Iwamura!

Lol of course the whole segment is sponsored by a g*mbling app

So many athletes get scammed out of millions this aint new

Are you literate enough to read the criminal complaint and comprehend? Or you think you are way more intelligent than those law enforcement investigators combined?

He’s the face of baseball. Not the mouth of baseball and he IS SAVING baseball by bringing in interest internationally with more viewership. Don’t listen to these 3 clown wisemen

Kay needs to drop this. He’s not winning this one.

its not illegal to place bets with an illegal bookmarker, the only illegal part is the bookmaker an filing taxes for it.

Michael, very good comment. Of 17,000 bets not single one on baseball.

I’m Yankees fan. I’m so embarrassed how irrational you are!!!

Who's Iwamura??? Oh....the one who played for TB many years ago.

Ippei atleast knew not to bet on mlb. That makes him smarter than you lot now trying to insinuate Ippei and or Ohtani may have been guilty of😂

A real degenerate gambler, addict, does not draw a line the sand. One is too many, 19,000 is never enough. I do believe he would bet on baseball if given the chance, but I'm sure if the bookie knew he was Ohtani's interpreter and had access to insider information on the ball clubs, that he wouldn't take those bets. Bookies don't want the clients to have an upper hand. I am, however, surprised that the bookie didn't use his leverage against the interpreter to gain information for his own behalf.

They have all the betting slips ... oHTAnI beT On bASeBaLl - michael kay

If all u butt kissing ontani think for one second fbi could be trusted or MLB ,you all forget the money involved for everyone 😂😂😂😂😂 It goes from 4.5 to 16 million, and othani and the team had no clue , good grief 😂😂😂😂😂

It’s like the same thing with Rex heuermann😊the wife knows nothing 🎉i really don’t care 🤷‍♀️ about ohtani’s and the dodgers

This show has lost subscribers and has only 1,000 total. For someone of his publicity with the Yankees. Tells you how stupid this podcast is.

I don't know, Mike. Is Ohtani that good of a player?

This is when racism comes to play: these clowns simply can’t admit they are wrong and Ohtani is a victim

No way ohtani wasn’t in on the gambling payments .

Definitely, A BIG RED FLAG!!! HE HAD TO HAVE BET ON BASEBALL. Mike - I beg to differ with you that Ohtani is not involved at all on not betting on baseball. Please, stay the course on your attack, I mean, questioning on Ohtani's guilt, I mean, "involvement".

It doesn't make sense that he's accusing Ippei of stealing only $16 million but he made hundreds of millions of dollars in bets... What's the truth Shohei? He either stole hundreds of millions or they were placing bets together. Ippei admitted it's "technically" stealing because he had Shohei's permission on most of it except the $16 million, which is a conspiracy that should get Shohei in trouble. They won't because he is generating tons of money for LA and California.

You guys are joke

COVER UP !!!!!

ohtani knew that his pal was a gambler, ohtani's lawyers told him to say he didn't know about it ,

Mike - don't back track on your previous accusations, I mean, questions regarding Ohtani's involvement.

Yes, Mike. STAY FIRM!!!!

Love ❤️ Michael Kay 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉good guy 😊

I still don’t believe it. You’re losing money hand over fist but instead of betting on baseball a sport you would have inside knowledge on and could turn your losing around. Yet, you never bet on ANY BASEBALL? A guy that didn’t understand illegal gambling? Come onnnnnn in 19,000 bets??? Come on

apparently you guys know more than the fbi!! bravo
