Joe Kelly’s Generous Gift: A Porsche from Ohtani

Kelly: “I didn’t give it away to just anyone.”

Pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s extraordinarily generous gift after being traded to the Dodgers continues to be a hot topic. A new Porsche was presented to pitcher Joe Kelly’s wife, Ashley. It all started with the transfer of the number 17 shirt to Otani, but it seems that Kelly had other plans.

The “non-guaranteed position” gained after leaving Chunichi: a challenge to become a true regular customer that Kyoda does not yet know

According to the official MLB website, Kelly explained that he gave the number 17 to Ohtani, saying, “I didn’t give it to just anyone.” “If Shohei continues to perform well, he will probably be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future. If that happens, I can retire my uniform number. This is the closest I can get to the Hall of Fame.”

Kelly has worn number 17 since 2019, including during his time with the White Sox. This appears to be why he was willing to give up the title to Otani, who dominates the majors with his two-handed pitching and hitting skills, and wears the number “99.”

The Dodgers’ permanently retired numbers are “1”, “2”, “4”, “14”, “19”, “20”, “24”, “32”, “34”, “39”, “42 “, ” and “53.” There are no specific conditions for selecting a player with a vacant number, but most teams require that the player be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The day will come when “17” is added here?
