Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers star, is facing privacy concerns after purchasing an $8 million mansion in La Cañada Flintridge, California, and deciding to sell it without moving in due to Japanese media invasion. Japanese outlets like Fuji TV and Nippon TV revealed the mansion's location, leading to Ohtani feeling his privacy was violated. The coverage included filming the property, interviewing neighbors, and disclosing details that angered Ohtani, prompting the decision to sell. Despite winning MLB's best player award, Ohtani, who recently wed Japanese basketball player Mamiko Tanaka, remains focused on his baseball career despite the off-field challenges.
