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.
Ohtani throwing Ippy under the bus now.
“Ippy stealing money from my account and telling lies.”
