I'm surprised this isn't making bigger headlines. Maybe reporters are hard at work here getting details.

But the Ohtani story isn't just that it wasn't him making bets, he's accusing his close friend of a massive theft. Forget about whether the gambling involved baseball, that's a felony. The cops are going to investigate this so I don't see how MLB is able to bury it. Surely the Ohtani camp wouldn't play the theft card if it wasn't legitimate?

This isn't Pete Rose, his gambling was never a criminal issue.
