Ohtani also addressed the Los Angeles Angels, the team he left.

“I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone involved with the Angels organization and the fans who have supported me over the past six years, as well as everyone involved with every team that has been part of this negotiation process,” he said.

“Especially for the Angels fans who have supported me through all the ups and downs, the support and cheering from you guys meant the world to me.

“The six years I spent with the Angels will remain etched in my heart forever.”

Ohtani said he would discuss more thoughts on his blockbuster move at a later news conference.
