SEOUL: Dodgers public relations officials blocked media from asking Shohei Ohtani questions in South Korea on Thursday (Mar 21) following the team firing his interpreter for an alleged connection to an illegal bookmaking operator.

"I can't comment on that. Anything with that, the meeting, can't comment," Roberts said.
