How Ohtani's interpreter Mizuhara became players' lifeline
Tim Keown, ESPN Senior Writer
Three of the American players who worked closely with Mizuhara and consider him to be a friend -- Crotta, Mitch Lively and Red Sox reliever Chris Martin -- were reluctant to opine on how Mizuhara ended up in a federal courtroom in Los Angeles last Friday, his legs shackled. The 6-foot-8 Martin, towering over everyone in the visitors clubhouse in the Oakland Coliseum, shakes his head and says, "I obviously don't have a lot to say, because I just don't know. My wife and I are looking at Ippei's face all over the news, looking at each other and saying, 'This is wild.' We've been in shock. The theft thing is what throws me off. Obviously things change and people change, but I can't get my head around that part."
