Shohei Ohtani is making a significant move just months after purchasing a luxury property in Los Angeles.
The Japanese star signed with the Dodgers in December after spending his whole MLB career with the Anaheim Angels. In May, Ohtani bought a modern luxury property in La Cañada Flintridge, Calif. for $7.85 million. Adam Carolla, a comedian and entertainer, previously owned the residence.
However, because so much information about the property had been made public, fans were able to quickly learn where Ohtani’s new home is and what it looks like. Furthermore, the Dodgers designated hitter/pitcher reportedly believed that some Japanese media outlets violated his privacy by filming near his home and interviewing neighbors.
No damn way Japanese media just went to Ohtani’s house and tried to interview people around the area

As a result, according to a Japanese site, Ohtani intends to sell the home because he believes his privacy has been invaded.
According to a Google translation, “Ohtani stated that he could no longer live in the 1.2 billion yen mansion he had purchased, and indicated his intention to sell it before moving into his new home.” According to the article, Ohtani has yet to move into the residence.
La Cañada Flintridge is located around 10 miles north of Dodger stadium. There is often little traffic to deal with on the way to and from the stadium, especially when compared to other areas in Los Angeles, making it a handy spot to live for Dodgers workers. According to this source, Ohtani may not get to witness what that commute is like.
