The solely manner he leaves the Angels is by the use of commerce, however GM Perry Minasian says that is not within the playing cards. That might change sooner or later as Trout continues to age, however for now, he is locked in.

That might or might not be a great factor. The Angels are not constructed to contend. They’re prone to lose free agent Shohei Ohtani with out recouping something. Trout’s commerce would a minimum of fetch some higher-end prospects to assist a rebuild.

It would additionally depart the roster really devoid of any massive stars and anybody for the followers to actually root for. As unhealthy because the Angels have been, Trout was price watching and rooting for. Without him, they do not have a lot for followers to be enthusiastic about.
