Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says teammates might be able to communicate with Shohei Ohtani more effectively with the departure of Ippei Mizuhara
There has been plenty of fallout accompanying the scandal surrounding Shohei Ohtani and his former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara. The confusion it caused among the Dodgers fan base. The distractions it threatened to create for the team. The way it could all impact Ohtani’s play individually, in particular, in the first season of his 10-year, $700-million contract, given how integral Mizuhara was in his daily training and preparation routines.
Former Angels manager Joe Maddon once reportedly told a Japanese outlet that the pair meshed together like 'peanut butter and jelly.” It was with Mizuhara by his side that Ohtani emerged as arguably the sport’s best player. Right up until Mizuhara’s firing last week, his bond with Ohtani was believed to be a key asset.
