The online auction for Shohei Ohtani's 50th home run ball has just four days remaining, with the highest bid now at 1.8 million.
The auction has been somewhat overshadowed by the legal situation surrounding the ball. Christian Zacek walked out of Miami's LoanDepot Park with the ball after gaining possession in the left-field stands. Max Matus and Joseph Davidov each claim in separate lawsuits that they grabbed the ball first.
Ohtani became the first player in baseball history to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in a season, reaching the milestone on Sept. 19 when the Los Angeles Dodgers star hit his second of three homers against the Marlins.
Zacek was identified as Chris Belanski in the initial lawsuits. Matus' updated lawsuit - obtained by The Associated Press on Friday - changes the defendant's name to Zacek and removes Goldin Auctions as a defendant.
"The contract with Goldin to sell the ball is with Christian Zacek," Matus' attorney John Uustal said in a statement. "It is apparently the same person at the ballpark, who may have been listed as Belanski at the stadium.
