Rosenthal reports that the Yankees are expected to receive two players on the Dodgers' 40-man roster for a prospect not on their 40-man roster.
On Saturday, Ohtani, the 29-year-old two-way sensation, announced on social media that he has chosen the Dodgers and will sign a record-setting 10-year, $700 million contract.
Los Angeles acquired Kelly, 35, from the Chicago White Sox in late July for his second stint with the Dodgers.
