It's been an ugly few weeks in Major League Baseball, with the organization's investigation into the alleged theft of Shohei Ohtani by his ex-interpreter Ippei Mizuhara taking centerstage.
Regarding MLB's current events, one "prominent player agent" told USA Today's Bob Nightengale the following as Opening Day approaches Thursday:
"It's embarrassing what's happening right now. This is supposed to be a great time, getting ready for the season, and we're going through this. It's ugly."
Ohtani, who just won his second American League MVP award, fired his interpreter Wednesday after questions arose regarding at least $4.
