While Ohtani's personal translator/manager/best friend was convicted and is taking the fall, I find it very hard to believe Ohtani knew nothing here.  If they are/were very good/best friends then he likely had some knowledge of the betting.  MLB is all about the money, so they were happy to see this new international star come through it all "clean" and the money keep flowing in from Asia.  I don't buy it.    

I agree that Rose is not a model citizen and the committee will need to decide if he ultimately gets into the Hall.
