I just don’t see anyone giving up baseball because a player was caught betting. Ohtani is popular but baseball has always been more about the game than the stars. No teams attendance is changing of Ohtani isn’t playing.

I’ve always had a hard time buying conspiracy theories but the way this story changed so fast. Still this guy is prepared to do jail time for Ohtani?
