Well, the regular season hasn’t even really started yet, but we already know what the biggest baseball story of 2024 is going to be (off the field, anyway). And while you might not think that the developing scandal surrounding gambling debts linked to Shohei Ohtani and his longtime interpreter/friend/confidant Ippei Mizuhara has anything to do with the Red Sox, you’re wrong! Everything is about the Red Sox all the time!
After attending college in the US, Ippei actually got his first interpreting gig back in 2010, when he served as the interpreter for Red Sox reliever Hideki Okajima.
