News emerged that Shohei Ohtani was being sued along with his agent in Hawaii by a real estate investor and broker. How will this impact him during the current season?

The agent was doing business on his behalf, so (Ohtani is) responsible for the agent ultimately,” the plaintiffs' lawyer told The Athletic.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani and sports agent Nez Balelo are both named in a recent lawsuit spurred by allegations of a “calculated and unlawful scheme” that plaintiffs say resulted in them being unfairly pushed out of a multimillion-dollar Hawaii real estate project.
