Inside former Dodgers Andre Ethier and wife Maggie's previous $4,900,000 Phoenix mansion featuring a windmill, soccer field, and more
Former Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed hitter Andre Ethier played 11 seasons in Major League Baseball, all with the Dodgers. Over the years, Ethier has amassed a net worth of $40 million, including his player salary, real estate and endorsement deals.
On July 31, 2017, Ethier sold his 9,326-square-foot Gilbert mansion in Phoenix to Jeff and Sandra Sawyer for $4.9 million after it was initially listed for $5 million. Ethier's Gilbert mansion was listed by Sandra Baldwin and Patti Swisher of Launch Real Estate.
The highest-paid East Valley home boasted a tropical paradise backyard, a batting cage, game room, soccer field, windmill and a two-story closet.
However, soon after the sale, Ethier and his wife Maggie bought $1.65 million worth of land (close to an acre) in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix. Ethier grew up in Phoenix and attended St. Mary's High School. He played college baseball for Arizona State University.
