The Japanese phenom Shohei Ohtani was already making waves when he broke a record with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but now he’s in the spotlight again—this time for the lavish present he gave to the wife of his new teammate.

After signing a record deal with the Dodgers, veteran reliever Joe Kelly’s new colleague surprised his wife with a shiny Porsche, leaving her dumbfоunded.

Since Ashley was instrumental in the Dodgers fan movement that sought to trade the former Angels slugger to the other side of Los Angeles, it is not surprising that the Japanese two-way sensation gave her a gesture of his heart.

As part of her “#Ohtake17 campaign,” Ashley shared a number of imaginative videos on her various social media accounts in an effort to entice Shohei Ohtani to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The move appears to have been successful, as Ohtani signed with the team earlier this month.

As part of her “campaign,” she changed the nаme of one of her children from Kai to ShoKai and even offered her husband’s No. 17 shirt at the club.

After the Dodgers’ trade, Joe Kelly gives Shohei Ohtani his jersey number.

The experienced Dodgers pitcher Ohtani retired his No. 17 jersey after signing with the 2020 World Series champions. The experienced pitcher is likely also showing his appreciation for the sacrifice with the present from the MLB superstar.

Joe Kelly, a former Cardinals pitcher, had his own reasons for giving up his jersey number, even if his wife had announced it. He would be trading it in for the two-way sensation. If the Japanese sensation gets elected to the Hall of Fаme, he joked, his jersey number will be retired.

“I wasn’t going to hand it over to anyone,” Kelly stated, as reported by ESPN. Shohei will become a Hall of Fаmer in the future, and I will be allowed to retire my number if he continues to play well. I will not be inducted into the Hall of Fаme until that happens.
