Something is not right about this story. I sense many parties are shielding Ohtani from culpability.

The idea he was going to answer questions was ludicrous.

He really should be suspended pending investigation.

“...but MLB star won’t take questions...”

Works for Bidenski.

Now if the Astro's acquired Ohtani, he would be banned for life, but when you play for the Yankees or the Dodgers MLB will bend, break, and twist whatever rules it needs to to protect those teams.

The Houston Astros are the Donald Trump of MLB, "Big League" !

Ohtani will not be suspended or expelled. He’s too big a name in east Asia where MLB is making lotsa yen/won in merch and broadcasts, and where saving face is more important than getting the facts.

If Ohtani were from the DR instead and playing for a small-market team like the Rays, he’d be Wanderfrancoed in a NY minute.

"Tip of the Iceberg"... ever since GAMBLING has been WELCOMED into the sports world DECAY has set in.

These days it's all about the MONEY.. NOT the "spirit of COMPETITION" or the purity of sports.
