Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani will recover $325,000 worth of baseball cards that his former interpreter and friend Ippei Mizuhara fraudulently purchased, per The Athletic's Sam Blum.
According to Blum, the government will move for an order "to reflect Ohtani's superior interest in the property" when Mizuhara is sentenced on Jan. 24.
Mizuhara purchased the cards online from January to March of 2024 with the intent to re-sell them. The cards featured Ohtani's image along with Yogi Berra and Juan Soto.
Last week, Ohtani requested a hearing from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to recover the fraudulently purchased cards that had been seized from Mizuhara.
