Shohei Ohtani, a player for the Dodgers, did not publicly address the firing of Ippei Mizuhara. Dodgers' PR guarded Ohtani's locker, preventing media access. Ohtani left without speaking to reporters, saying 'have a good night' in Japanese.
Ohtani's going to have to talk about this eventually. But it won't be today, tomorrow or probably for a while. https://t.co/YG4hHJI2ot
Shohei Ohtani did not publicly address Ippei Mizuhara's firing today Media won't have access to the team (and, presumably, Ohtani) until the Freeway Series back in LA on Sunday https://t.co/RqKBIb5oAz
Dodgers had two PR officials standing guard in front of Shohei Ohtani's locker. One of them escorted Ohtani out of the room. Ohtani said, "Otsukaresama," a few times as he walked out.
ohtani is too kind and respectful to have to speak poorly of his dear friend ippei, who acted completely alone and without his knowledge. https://t.co/5M2ThfCb78
Dodgers PR guarded Shohei Ohtani's locker after the game and told reporters that he would not be speaking to media, per @chelsea_janes https://t.co/6ln6Bubjqb
Dodgers PR guarded Ohtani’s locker as he changed, then told reporters he would not be speaking. When reporters surrounded his locker, asking if he had a second anyway, he walked by and out of the clubhouse saying what the Japanese reporters translated as “have a good night.”
Yamamoto and Ohtani are doing a great job bringing global attention to the #Dodgers so far.
