LA Angels manager discloses Shohei Ohtani's reaction to being teased by teammates for skincare endorsements: "He just does this"

LA Angels star Shohei Ohtani has developed into one of the finest players in MLB. His fame has led to various perks, with one of them being the face of multiple brands.

Ohtani recently signed a deal with a skincare brand. However, this made him the target of jokes among his Angels teammates.

In a recent interview, manager Phil Nevin shared how Ohtani decided to deal with being teased. Nevin explained that Ohtani responded with the "money" gesture, shutting his teammates up.

"He's really worldwide. I don't suppose he can go out much," Nevin said. "He's very recognizable. He's got some commercials now for skincare products... The guys kind of mess around with him and he just does this (the money)."

Ohtani is easily one of the best players in the league, but he has never played in the postseason. The LA Angels have failed to make the postseason since 2014 despite having two of the biggest names on their roster in Ohtani and Mike Trout.

If they fail to do so once again this season, Ohtani could be on the way out when he hits free agency.
