Shohei Ohtani "didn't know what the f--k was going on" regarding the alleged theft from his bank account by his longtime interpreter Ippei Mizuhara until the Los Angeles Dodgers brought him a new interpreter, a spokesman for Ohtani told ESPN's Tisha Thompson.
Ohtani learned about alleged theft after the Dodgers' 5-2 Wednesday victory over the San Diego Padres in Seoul, South Korea, the spokesman told Thompson.
"He didn't know any of it, didn't know there was some inquiry," the spokesman said, per Thompson. "After the game, that's when he found out."
Mizuhara was fired Wednesday afternoon after allegations that he was involved in at least $4.
