Around the League…

Shohei Ohtani and his agent Nez Balelo had suit filed against them by a real estate investor in Hawaii. The suit alleges that Ohtani and his camp made increasingly heavy demands of the developers on a multi-million dollar housing development before eventually backing out.

Perhaps the first time in history a pitcher was upset that time wasn’t called.
