A new report says that Fletcher also gambled on several sports using the same illegal bookie that Ippei Mizuhara, former interpreter for now-Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
David Fletcher, former Los Angeles Angels infielder and current minor leaguer with the Atlanta Braves, reportedly gambled with the same illegal bookie that took bets from Ippei Mizuhara, according to a new report from ESPN.
The two parted ways with the franchise in different ways following the season, when Ohtani signed a record-setting 10-year, $700-million contract with the Dodgers and Fletcher was traded to Atlanta. ESPN says that Fletcher has been described as one of Ohtani's 'closest friends in baseball.'During an interview in March, Fletcher reportedly told ESPN that he was at the same poker game in 2021 where Mizuhara met Bowyer.
