ESPN is revisiting the scandal surrounding baseball player Shohei Ohtani and large money transfers to illegal bookmakers with a new podcast series.
Tisha Thompson, who originally broke the news of the scandal in 2024, will host a six-part podcast delving deeper into the matter. The initial report revealed that significant sums of money were transferred from Shohei Ohtani’s bank account to individuals linked to illegal gambling operations.
The podcast aims to provide further insight into the events surrounding the transfers and potentially reveal new information about the case. Thompson initially broke news about what Variety describes as “one of the biggest and most surprising scandals in sports.” The series will likely explore the details of how these transactions occurred and the implications for Ohtani's career.
The podcast is expected to build on Thompson’s original reporting, offering a more comprehensive examination of the scandal two years after it first came to light. No further details about the content or release date have been provided.
