Apparently, the Los Angeles Angels aren't harboring a grudge against Shohei Ohtani's move to their cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Angels released an official statement on Shohei Ohtani's six-year tenure with the club on Monday.

“Shohei Ohtani is a generational player and it was an honor to watch him make history throughout his six seasons he spent an Angels uniform,” the statement reads.

“We feel extremely fortunate that Angels fans were able to witness him redefine what is possible in our sport,” the statement went on to say.

“We thank Shohei for his many contributions to our franchise and the game of baseball. We wish him the best during the next chapter of his career,” the statement concluded.

Shohei Ohtani kept the baseball world in suspense amid the recently-concluded MLB winter meetings. Fans couldn't wait to find out where the Japanese generational talent will wind up next.

Ohtani shocked everyone after he signed an unprecedented 10-year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers on December 9. It's the richest contract in MLB history.
