Major League Baseball¡¯s top official has said that he expects the gambling probe into Shohei Ohtani and his former longtime interpreter to wrap up in a ¡°relatively short¡± period of time, in the latest update on the probe.
During a Friday appearance on ¡°The Carton Show,¡± MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred praised the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar for his move to stem questions over his involvement in the gambling scandal in the days after the news broke.
¡°I thought Ohtani¡¯s public appearance was really credible (and) really transparent, but I think it¡¯s incumbent upon us just to make sure that we can verify the story that¡¯s there to give our fans absolute assurance about the integrity of the game,¡± Manfred said on the New York-based daily sports show, noting that it was difficult to pinpoint the exact stage of the probe.
