Shohei Ohtani was in the giving mood this holiday season.
The two-way star gifted a brand-new Porsche to his Los Angeles Dodgers teammate Joe Kelly's wife Ashley after she started a campaign trying to convince him to sign with the team.
Joe Kelly's wife, Ashley, started the #Ohtake17 campaign to try to get Ohtani to the Dodgers, saying that he could take Joe's No. 17.

The #Ohtake17 campaign offered Ohtani Kelly's No. 17 jersey. Ashley also jokingly changed her baby's name from Kai to ShoKai.
Ohtani signed a record-setting 10-year, $700-million contract with the Dodgers on Dec. 11.
Kelly inked a one-year, $8-million deal to return to Los Angeles for the 2024 campaign. He's worn No. 17 during each of his two stints with the franchise.
The Dodgers have spent over $1 billion so far this offseason, also adding pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow.
