Current Organization[edit]

Can we change the main image for Shohei Ohtani? He no longer plays for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and after signing a 10 year contract now plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jmelinat (talk) 12:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find a decent image with the proper licensing then the image can change... but I haven't seen any available yet. Spanneraol (talk) 12:49, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unless any Creative Commons photographer happens to be in South Korea for the current series, probably won't have a decent image until later in the season. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 20:17, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interpreter gambling[edit]

Should the breaking story be included even if just a brief mention, in this article? RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 19:38, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's mentioned in his personal life section. HappyBoi3892 (talk) 19:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence needs fixing...[edit]

"On the evening of March 19, Mizuhara told ESPN in a 90-minute interview that he had asked Ohtani to repay the debts and that Ohtani himself transferred them to the bookie."

this sentences does not make sense to people who don't know the story already. it's the vagueness of "repay the debts" that needs attention.

What debts? And repay them to whom? Kingturtle = (talk) 06:52, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
