ESPN has released a brand-new 30 for 30 podcast series, The Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani, bringing the Ippei Mizuhara scandal back into the spotlight more than two years later.

But why now?

I listened to the entire series and break down what is actually new, what isn't, and whether this story needed to be revisited in the middle of another historic Shohei Ohtani season.

Plus, the latest on Shohei's injury updates, his return-to-pitching timeline, and a look at his recent surge at the plate as he starts heating up offensively once again.

What do you think? Did ESPN need to make this podcast? Let me know in the comments.
