Good morning. I’m back for more.
- Infielder David Fletcher, who played for the Angels from 2018 to 2023 and is with the Braves organization now, is reported to have gambled with the same illegal bookmaker that Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter, bet with. Fletcher reportedly gambled on several sports but never on baseball, but a former minor league teammate of his reportedly did bet on baseball.
- Jack Harris reports on Shohei Ohtani’s “freakish” first season with the Dodgers.
- Padres pitcher Yu Darvish became the third pitcher to win 200 games combined between NPB and MLB.
