"Upon additional scrutinizing, it was uncovered that it was Ippei who was under water," Ohtani said. "Also, let my agents know that I was taking care of those obligations. What's more, this, this, has been all a total falsehood."

Before the clubhouse meeting, the 29-year-old said that Ippei requested to address him one-on-one at the lodging after it was finished.

"What's more, at long last, when we returned to the inn and talked balanced that was the point at which I figured out that he had a monstrous obligation," Ohtani said. "Furthermore, it was uncovered to me during that gathering that Ippei conceded that he was sending cash utilizing my record to the bookmaker. Also, at that point clearly, it was something ludicrous that was going on and I reached my agents."

Ohtani and his camp then, at that point, reached his legal advisors and the Dodgers.

"My legal counselors suggested that since this is burglary and extortion, we have the legitimate specialists handle this matter," he said. "In this, all in all, I would like to clarify that I never bet on sports or have obstinately sent cash to the bookmaker. To sum up how I'm feeling at present, I'm simply past stunned. It's truly difficult to express the way that I'm feeling as of now."
