Veteran Dodgers Pitcher Quips Bringing Aaron Judge to LA Next After Generous Gift to Shohei Ohtani

The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly is not one to feel shy about expressing his enthusiasm. Particularly for the team’s recent acquisitions. And his sights are set way beyond Shohei Ohtani. Following Ohtani’s grand gesture to Kelly’s wife, he jokingly made a mind-blowing offer! 

Kelly’s offer not only displays a willingness to help but also the light-hearted temperament of the Dodgers. Who knew that jersey numbers and MVP-level players get pulled into conversations only to result in hearty laughs? Thanks to Kelly’s sense of humor and Aaron Judge’s #99 jersey for you “Gotta love Joe😂😂”.

Joe Kelly’s Yet Another Friendly Offering, This Time to Aaron Judge

This comes after the two-way phenom surprised Kelly’s wife Ashley Parks with a Porsche for Christmas. Kelly spoke with SportsNet LA’s John Hair and during the interview, the 35-year-old playfully told Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers President of Baseball Operations, “If you want to trade for Aaron Judge now, you can also do that if you’d like to… I’ll give Judge my number, too.“

Kelly’s lighthearted remark comes from his wife Ashley’s enthusiastic advocacy to bring Ohtani to Los Angeles’ Blue Crew. Ashley as a joke offered Shotime her husband’s number 17 jersey to lure him to sign with the team. Kelly being the ever supportive teammate, did not bat an eyelid before agreeing to do the switch. Then he graciously switched to number 99 which is Aaron Judge’s

While Kelly’s statement about Judge was humorous, it also sheds light on the excitement surrounding the Dodgers’ offseason moves. With a talent like Ohtani talent and the team’s strong showing last season, the Blue Crew are prepping up to be a force to be reckoned with in the forthcoming season. But is there a realistic possibility that Judge moves to LA? Well, you never know what the Dodgers can do!
