The Los Angeles Angels salvaged Game 4 of a four-game series with the Boston Red Sox on Monday afternoon, winning 5-4. The win moves the Angels to 8-8 while dropping the Red Sox to 8-9.

After the game, Red Sox fans were excited to hear from Angels star Shohei Ohtani, who said how much he loves pitching at Fenway Park. As Ohtani gets closer and closer to free agency after the season, any praise of any other place is deemed as a possibility of him signing in that city.

So, you're telling me there's a chance? You can hear Ohtani's comments, delivered through an interpreter, below:

"It's one of my favorite parks. I always look forward to pitching here but the conditions didn't allow me to have fun fully, but other than that, I always look forward to pitching here."

Those conditions that Ohtani is referring to was the weather. The game was delayed nearly an hour at the beginning of the game and then was delayed more than an hour in the middle innings. Ohtani was only able to throw two innings as he did not come back after the rain delay.

He allowed one run in the game but did manage to strike out his Team Japan WBC teammate Masataka Yoshida.

We're sorry to Red Sox fans, despite the optimism, ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney recently told our own Brady that he thinks the New York Mets will make the best offer for Ohtani this offseason.

On the mound, Ohtani is 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA. The Angels will travel to New York to play the Yankees next.
