Shohei Ohtani is not only rich, he’s strategically brilliant, because he figured out an instant way of ingratiating himself with his new teammates, and it involves a Porsche!
The Dodgers star gifted an awesome Porsche to the wife of teammate Joe Kelly. Why, you ask? Turns out she mounted a full-on campaign to get Ohtani to sign with her hubby’s team.

Check out the video … Ashley Kelly is stunned as she peers out her front door and Joe tells her the car parked on the curb next to their house … well, the car is now hers!!!
Ashley was on a relentless campaign to snag Ohtani, telling her Insta followers she changed the name of her 7-month-old child from Kai to ShoKai. Not true, but funny — and effective. She did a ton more, including offering up her husband’s number as an incentive.

Shohei can certainly afford it … he signed a 10-year contract worth $700 million earlier this month, although he’s deferring almost all of it for years. It’s the biggest contract in the history of sports.
Merry Xmas, Ashley!
