Former Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher bet on sports with the same illegal bookmaker who allegedly accepted wagers from Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, according to ESPN's Tisha Thompson.
Fletcher spent six seasons playing with Ohtani and the Angels between 2018 and 2023. He was traded in December and is currently playing with Atlanta Braves' Triple-A Affiliate Gwinnett Stripers.
Colby Schultz, a "close friend" of Fletcher who spent the 2018 and 2019 seasons playing for Kansas City Royals affiliates, bet with the same bookmaker on baseball, Thompson reported.
Schultz's bets included Angels games that Fletcher was playing in, according to Thompson.
