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?

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.

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