For the second time in two years, Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani is likely going to win the NL MVP award.
Also for the second time in two years, Ohtani is in the news for a controversy that is unrelated to baseball.
Last year it was the betting scandal with interpreter Ippei Mizuhara. This year, Ohtani and his agent, Nez Balelo, are being hit with a lawsuit in a Hawaii Circuit Court.
