Ex-Angels Player David Fletcher Linked to Bookmaker in Ohtani Interpreter Scandal
Reports reveal Fletcher placed bets with the same illegal bookie involved in the $17 million fraud case against Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara.
- David Fletcher, now with the Braves' Triple-A affiliate, reportedly bet on various sports but not baseball.
- Fletcher's friend Colby Schultz allegedly placed bets on Angels games while Fletcher was on the team.
- MLB rules prohibit using illegal bookmakers for any sports betting, with severe penalties for violations.
- Fletcher has denied placing bets with the bookmaker, despite admitting to knowing him.
- Federal authorities have not implicated Ohtani in any wrongdoing, considering him a victim in the case.
