"Who do you think is skinny enough? 'Cause dude, when I threw that first pitch it was so tight on me. I'm like 195 now. I played at like 180, 185. And my arms are so yoked, dude, I couldn't even... I bounced the ball. I couldn't move my arm. It was so tight."
"I would let Yama do it. Yeah, pitch it to him. Go ahead."
"I ain't playing."
"There's no such thing as retirement for athletes. Retiring is something my grandmother did. Let's cancel the word retirement, it's used for people who served in the military, for people who worked til 65. You guys deserve to retire, athletes don't."
Joe Kelly said he would let All-Star Yoshinobu Yamamoto wear his Mariachi jacket when the Dodgers receive their World Series rings this year. Kelly originally received the jacket from musician Grover Castro in exchange for his jersey and wore it to the White House after the Dodgers' 2020 title and during a recent ceremonial first pitch. Kelly noted the jacket is tight due to changes in his size and muscle. After a 13-year MLB career, Kelly announced his retirement following the 2025 season, finishing with a sub-4.00 ERA across 485 games and two World Series wins.
