It was all business for Shohei Ohtani during his six-year run with the Los Angeles Angels.
The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal on Monday detailed how the Los Angeles Dodgers star had an almost singular focus on baseball while playing for the Angels and tuned out the wider sports world. One way to demonstrate that was Rosenthal citing a source who said he "could not even identify Patrick Mahomes, the NFL's biggest star."
The piece provided some context and perspective for how Ippei Mizuhara, Ohtani's former interpreter, could funnel almost $17 million from Ohtani's accounts to pay off gambling debts.
