Verducci’s prose has really fallen off. Are we sure that’s him? I mean this is giving big Allegra Coleman energy:
But like an Italian sports car, even at rest his angularity and aura connotate agility and speed. The power is all under the hood.

I'm kinda curious about who knew what and when between LAD/MLB/Otani's PR dept because Ippei getting fired only AFTER the story broke AND his interview(s) is incredibly sketchy...

I don’t know the exact exact timeline but I think the LA Times story (ippei stealing) dropped right before the ESPN one (two stories). Ohtani’s agents are professionals, I don’t see how the first interview fuckup happened
