Inside the Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani | ESPN’s Tisha Thompson

If you listened to Talk Dodgers to Me during the Shohei Ohtani and Ippei Mizuhara story, or recently, you know Melissa was obsessed. So when the 30 for 30 podcast series came out, she became equally fascinated by the person working to uncover the truth: ESPN investigative reporter Tisha Thompson. So naturally, we had to have her on the podcast.Tisha joins Talk Dodgers to Me for a conversation that goes far beyond the headlines, taking us behind the scenes of investigative journalism and her reporting on the Shohei Ohtani and Ippei Mizuhara story — including what it takes to verify information when the entire sports world is waiting for answers, the responsibility that comes with reporting on one of the biggest athletes in the world, and what she learned through the investigation.We also talk about Shohei on the other side of the story and the relationship between truth and power. Plus, Tisha opens up about what led her to sports journalism and why getting the story *right* matters more than getting it first.We really couldn’t have loved talking to Tisha any more! This was a conversation we’ve wanted to have for a long time, and it reminded us once again why it’s always more than baseball. 💙⚾ Subscribe for more Dodgers conversations, stories and interviews.
