Angels GM Confirms Mike Trout Will Not Be Traded
Despite ongoing speculation and recent injuries, three-time AL MVP remains key player for struggling Angels
- Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian has confirmed that three-time AL MVP Mike Trout will not be traded, despite ongoing speculation about his future.
- Trout, who is under contract through 2030, has missed significant portions of the past three seasons due to injuries, but remains a key player for the Angels.
- Despite his injuries, Trout was named an AL All-Star for the 11th time in 2023, although he played in just 82 games due to a broken bone in his left hand.
- Minasian also confirmed that the Angels have no plans to move Trout out of center field, despite his recent injury setbacks.
- The Angels are currently in the midst of eight consecutive losing seasons and nine consecutive non-playoff seasons, both the longest streaks in the majors.
