NEW YORK (AP) — Left-hander A.J. Minter and the New York Mets finalized a $22 million, two-year contract on Thursday.
Federal prosecutors say a nearly four-minute audio recording allegedly captured Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara impersonating the baseball star on a call with a bank as he attempted to transfer $200,000. The recording referenced in a court filing Thursday by federal prosecutors is being used to back up a push for a nearly five-year sentence for Mizuhara. He previously pleaded guilty to bank and tax fraud for stealing nearly $17 million from the Los Angeles Dodgers star. Mizuhara’s attorney did not respond to an email from The Associated Press requesting comment. Mizuhara pleaded guilty in June to spending millions from Ohtani’s Arizona bank account to cover his growing gambling bets and debts with an illegal bookmaker.
