Shohei Ohtani ‘focused on what the team is doing,' not distraction of Hawaii real estate lawsuit
Shohei Ohtani's name is in headlines again. And, for the second time in two years, not for baseball reasons. News emerged this week that Ohtani, the Dodgers' two-way star and reigning National League MVP, was being sued along with his agent in Hawaii by a real estate investor and broker. The claim: That Ohtani and his representative, Nez Balelo of Creative Artists Agency, had the plaintiffs fired from a $240 million luxury housing development that Ohtani had been contracted to help endorse. The contours of the case are complicated; relating to contract law, tortious interference and two years of alleged disputes between Balelo and the plaintiffs, developer Kevin J. Hayes Sr. and real estate broker Tomoko Matsumoto, leading up to their termination from the project. But as it pertains to Ohtani and this current Dodgers season, only one question really matters: Will the situation create any distraction for him off the field? When pressed on that Wednesday, he quickly shut the idea down. 'I'm focused on what the team is doing,' Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton. 'And doing everything in my power to make sure we bring a W on the field.' According to the lawsuit, Hayes and Matsumoto reached an endorsement deal with Ohtani in 2023 for their luxury housing development on Hawaii's Big Island. The Japanese star was not only to be a spokesperson for the project, but also a resident committed to purchasing one of the development's 14 residences as an offseason home. However, the lawsuit claimed, Balelo increasingly demanded unspecified concessions (the details of which were redacted in the filing) over the last two years from Hayes and Matsumoto — becoming what it described as a 'disruptive force' who 'inserted himself into every aspect of the relationship.' Last month, the lawsuit alleged, Balelo went to Hayes' and Matsumoto's business partner, Kingsbarn Realty Capital, and threatened litigation if the two weren't terminated from the project. 'Kingsbarn openly admitted … that Balelo had demanded the terminations and that they were being done solely to placate him,' the lawsuit said. 'Specifically, Kingsbarn acknowledged that Balelo had threatened to drag Kingsbarn into a separate lawsuit unless it terminated Hayes and Matsumoto.' The lawsuit also claims that Balelo's supposed threat of litigation — which pertained to the use of Ohtani's name, image and likeness rights being used to promote a seperate real estate project on Hawaii's Big Island — was 'baseless,' amounting to an 'abuse of power' by Ohtani's longtime agent to 'force a business partner to betray its contractual obligations and strip Plaintiffs of the very project they conceived and built.' A Kingsbarn spokesperson told The Athletic this week that the allegations 'are completely frivolous and without merit,' and that 'Kingsbarn takes full responsibility for its actions regarding Kevin Hayes and for removing Tomoko Matsumoto as the project's broker.' Ohtani's direct involvement in the dispute appears limited. According to a person with knowledge of the situation who wasn't authorized to speak publicly, the plaintiffs dealt almost exclusively with Balelo, who has represented Ohtani since he came to the major leagues from Japan before the 2018 season. Still, because Balelo was acting on behalf of Ohtani, the superstar was included as a defendant as well. That means — just like in March 2024, when scandal swirled around Ohtani after his former interpreter was found to have stolen money from his bank accounts to pay off illegal gambling debts — Ohtani has another potential disturbance to navigate off the field. Granted, Ohtani hardly seemed affected by last year's controversy, helping the Dodgers win the World Series while winning the third MVP award of his career. And this current lawsuit, according to attorney and legal expert Arash Sadat of Mills Sadat Dowlat LLP, presents a much more standard type of legal dispute often seen around real estate deals. 'This kind of stuff happens all the time,' Sadat said. 'They're not rare at all.' Sadat noted that, based on the lawsuit, it's not clear 'what Shohei knew and didn't know' when it came to Balelo's alleged interactions with the plaintiffs. 'All of the allegations in the complaint relate to conduct by his agent,' Sadat said. 'If the plaintiffs in this case could show any direct involvement by Ohtani, you can bet that would have been included in the complaint.' If the case were to proceed without a resolution, it is possible Ohtani could eventually be required to give a deposition detailing his knowledge of the alleged events. That, however, is not something that would happen imminently. And even if it did, Sadat added, it's unclear whether his testimony would even be released publicly, given that large swaths of redactions in the original lawsuit of seemingly proprietary business information. Sadat speculated the chances of the case ever going to trial as slim. The overwhelming majority of such lawsuits are typically settled or dismissed well before then. 'Real estate tends to bring out emotions in people,' Sadat said. 'You have a high-profile real estate developer. You have a high-profile real estate agent. You have a sports agent over at CAA. You're talking about big egos here. And when that happens, and someone feels slighted, oftentimes… litigation is the result.'

Wall Street quiet ahead of meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin
Markets are largely unchanged early Thursday ahead of a key meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin this week. Futures for the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq all ticked down less than 0.1% before the opening bell. Shares of Deere & Co. slid 7.5% after the heavy equipment manufacturer cut its forecast despite beating Wall Street's third-quarter sales and profit targets. Deere's sales and profit fell significantly from a year ago and the company cited 'near-term uncertainty' in its earnings release. Deere said that it has been focusing on inventory management with inventories remaining high. Tapestry, the parent of Kate Spade and Coach, saw its shares tumble more than 6% on a weak outlook. The company said it expects a tiny increase in sales for the upcoming year, while forecasting a 60-cents-per-share hit on profit due to tariffs. Tapestry says that about 70% of its products are made in Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines. Later Thursday, the government will release its report on inflation at the wholesale level, before products reach consumers. Economists expect it to show inflation ticked up to 2.4% in July from 2.3% in June. The U.S. also releases its weekly report on applications for jobless benefits, which serves as a proxy for U.S. layoffs. On Friday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson outside Anchorage, Putin and Trump as well as a meeting of the delegations, will convene a meeting. In Europe at midday, Britain's FTSE 100 was unchanged after the government reported that the UK economy grew at a faster than expected 1.2% annual pace in the last quarter. In quarterly terms, the economy grew 0.3%, slowing from a 0.7% expansion in January-March. Germany's DAX rose 0.6% and the CAC 40 in Paris added 0.5%. Europe is bracing for Trump's encounter with Putin, though the U.S. president has said he will prioritize trying to achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine when he meets with Putin on Friday in Anchorage. The Trump-Putin meeting could have major implications for energy markets, potentially leading to an easing of sanctions against Moscow, or an escalation if no progress is made on ending the war in Ukraine. Early Thursday, U.S. benchmark crude rose 23 cents to $62.88 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, added 25 cents to $65.88 per barrel. During Asian trading, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 fell nearly 1.5% to 42,649.26 as investors sold to lock in recent gains that have taken the benchmark to all-time records. The Japanese yen rose against the dollar after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg that Japan was 'behind the curve' in monetary tightening. He was referring to the slow pace of increases in Japan's near-zero interest rates. Low interest rates tend to make the yen weaker against the dollar, giving Japanese exporters a cost advantage in overseas sales. The dollar fell to 146.53 Japanese yen Thursday, down from 147.39 yen. The euro slid to $1.1691 from $1.1705. In Chinese markets, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index shed 0.4% to 25,519.32, while the Shanghai composite index slid 0.5% to 3,666.44. South Korea's Kospi rose less than 0.1% to 3,225.66. In Australia, the S&P ASX 200 index added 0.5% to 8,873.80. Taiwan's Taiex fell 0.5% and India's Sensex edged 0.2% higher. Bitcoin briefly rose more than 3% to a new record of over $123,000, according to CoinDesk. It later fell back below $121,000.

Playboy is returning to Miami Beach with plans for a club and a new headquarters
Playboy, the company best known for its magazine centerfolds and bunny logo, had a major presence in South Florida in the 1960s and '70s with a club and a hotel. Now, the brand is coming back to town. Playboy has signed a lease to move into the penthouse of a new luxury office building in Miami Beach called Rivani. The company will move its corporate headquarters from Los Angeles into the building at 1691 Michigan Ave., near Lincoln Road. Playboy called it a strategic move in an Aug. 13 statement, and said it underscores the 'brand's next chapter with expanded hospitality offerings, advanced content studios and renewed cultural presence.' Along with the office relocation, the company is developing a new Playboy Club in Miami Beach, including a 'world-class restaurant' along with 'an exclusive members-only space inspired by the storied Playboy Mansion.' eveloper Robert Rivani said he expects Playboy's new office to be ready tby mid- 2026. t Playboy described Miami Beach as 'one of the nation's most dynamic, culturally relevant, and business-friendly cities.' The Rivani commercial complex offers a mix of wellness, design and hospitality businesses. Robert Rivani said he has injected over $100 million into the development, which features a spa, wellness center, living room-style meeting space, Japanese restaurant and speakeasy. The new tenant plans content studios in its new headquarters 'to support Playboy's growing creator network.' This will allow the production of multimedia across digital platforms, including podcasts, photography and other media ventures. 'Our vision is to create world-class content and experiences that resonate globally,' Ben Kohn, CEO of Playboy Inc., said in a statement. He sees Miami Beach as 'the ideal home for Playboy's next chapter.' In 2020, Playboy ceased publishing its monthly print magazine, founded in 1953 by Hugh Hefner and once the most identifiable part of the brand. In 2015, the magazine, also known for its in-depth articles along with the centerfolds, stripped the nudity from its pages. Even with the changes, the Playboy brand accounts for $3 billion in annual consumer spending across the world — that's a lot of logo licensing on shot glasses, keychains and clothing. And this year, Playboy even returned to publishing an annual print magazine. The plan to open a headquarters and club is a return to an area where Playboy once had a major presence. The Playboy Club, with its bunny barmaids, opened in 1961 at 77th Street and Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. The site, across the street from an adult theater, is now an auto supply shop. The club moved to an inn near the airport, but didn't last there long. n 1970, the company invested millions to open a Miami Beach hotel, the Playboy Plaza. /he building, in the 5400 block of Collins Avenue, is now known as the Castle Beach Club./ In addition to the club and hotel, Playboy trailblazing Playboy photographer Bunny Yeager found bunnies all over Miami, including pinup Bettie Page, as she put the 305 in the magazine's centerfold. Tragically, some celebrated Playmates, like 1993 Playmate of the Year Anna Nicole Smith, and Miss February 1977, Star Stowe, lost their lives in South Florida. So, what kind of Playboy can South Florida expect when the company returns? Kohn, the CEO, may have foreshadowed that five years ago in a Medium post announcing the shutdown of the print magazine, Kohn gave some hints of what could be part of the company's planned 'content studios.' He cited live events they held with audiences on cannabis advocacy, female sexuality in the arts and the future of masculinity. He also mentioned they held the first sessions of 'The Playboy Interview Live' and revived the Playboy Advisor column in a more social media-friendly digital series 'providing millions of viewers with the sex-ed we wish we'd had.'
