TOKYO (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was reminded during a visit to Tokyo that Shohei Ohtani had promised him a Porsche if the Dodgers won the World Series against the New York Yankees. Ohtani had previously gifted teammate Joe Kelly a Porsche for giving up his jersey number to Ohtani when he joined the Dodgers from the Angels. Roberts received a toy Porsche from Ohtani, with a hint that the real car might still be coming.
Roberts jokingly asked Ohtani about the promised Porsche after the World Series win, to which Ohtani replied, “If we win the World Series, maybe we'll talk about it.” Roberts expressed readiness to discuss the matter, albeit in jest, stating, “I don’t know. Good question.”
