The Los Angeles Angels gave it their all on August 1 by making acquisitions at the MLB trade deadline in an effort to improve their prospects of making the postseason. After this season, the team’s star player Shohei Ohtani is probably going to retire. The Hall of Fame-bound Mike Trout is also getting older. Sadly, all of that effort was in vain. During the offseason, the Angels may make big roster changes.

Trout might be added, among other modifications. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Angels are willing to trade the potential Hall of Famer this winter. But only if the 32-year-old requests to be traded, they are eager to make a deal for Trout.

After the season, Trout has openly stated that he anticipates further conversations. I haven’t thought about it at all. Discussions are inescapable throughout the winter. Mike Trout, an outfielder for the Angels, made this statement to the Orange County Register earlier this month.

Trout has only participated in one game after suffering a wrist injury on July 3. Unfortunately, the injuries suffered by the future Hall of Famer have become quite common. He hasn’t had a season with more than 140 games played since 2018. He last participated in more than 150 games in 2016.

The Angels have only reached the postseason once with Trout. Throughout his 13-year playing career, which included three American League MVP awards, he has been a member of the Los Angeles Angels. He has received nine Silver Slugger medals and has attended the big game 11 times.

It’s difficult to predict the kind of return the Angels would receive for Mike Trout in a trade. However, other teams might want the potential Hall of Famer. This winter, keep an eye on the story’s developments for new information.
