The Los Angeles Dodgers now have a 10-5 record on the season after losing a close 3-2 game to the defending Central Division Champion Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, during a time when the news cycle has swirled around superstar designated hitter Shohei Ohtani. It was revealed recently that the Dodgers player's former interpreter lost over $40 million in betting losses. A total of $16 million dollars was stolen from his client's own account.

The interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, was charged with bank fraud as a result. Meanwhile, a well-known broadcaster has blasted Ohtani for not revealing information on the situation.

The details are just now beginning to emerge, and they paint a picture of something far beyond most fans ever expected.

Dodgers' Early Season Success, Revealed

Frustrating Ohtani news aside, the Dodgers have had a solid start to the season including a great performance from the top dollar offseason acquisitions so far. Holdovers like Mookie Betts and Bobby Miller have also excelled in the team's batting order, giving manager Dave Roberts plenty of hope for a deep October run.

Ohtani has three home runs and eight RBI on the season and is hitting .333, third on the team in batting average behind Betts and Teoscar Hernandez.
