Celebrity Houses: Two LA Dodgers buy new homes before starting Spring Training

As many of you know i'm a huge baseball fan and i also grew up in Southern California.  That makes me a huge Dodgers fan!  Since most of my clients in Sacramento are Giants fans it makes for some fun, friendly banter.  

Since spring training has just started I thought i'd put together a fun Dodger Baseball/Real Estate related posted.  This winter, two of the Dodgers biggest stars bought new homes. Clayton Kershaw and Yasiel Puig.  take a look:

Clayton Kershaw had a very busy winter: collecting the Cy Young and MVP awards, his wife Ellen gave birth to their first child and they closed escrow on this beautiful home for $4 million in Studio City of the L.A. valley.

Here's a link to some more photos  and also a YouTube video with tons of pictures.

Yasiel Puig settled on a $1.8 million property just up the road in Sherman Oaks.  For such a flashy player on the field this is an interesting decision that comes as a surprise to many as being a very modest, conservative decision.  Take a look:

Here's a link to some more photos of the property.

I'll keep my eyes out for any Giants players to buy any new homes this year as well and do a post on those just to be fair.  Have a great Spring Training and Play Ball!!!
