Ohtani`s Porsche Promise to Dave Roberts

In a lighthearted exchange during a visit to Tokyo, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts jokingly reminded everyone that Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese baseball superstar, might still owe him a new Porsche. This humorous anecdote stems from an earlier season hint by Ohtani.

During the 2024 season, Ohtani had given his teammate Joe Kelly a new Porsche as a gesture of gratitude when Kelly relinquished his jersey number 17 to Ohtani. Following this, Ohtani presented Roberts with a toy replica of a Porsche, suggesting that the real thing could be on its way if the Dodgers won the World Series. Since the Dodgers did indeed win the World Series, Roberts playfully mentioned that he is still waiting for his Porsche.

This exchange highlights the camaraderie and playful banter within the Dodgers team and underscores the significant impact Ohtani has on his teammates and manager.
