2026 : Around the League

Saw Jim Bowden list the Phillies and Braves as “suitors”. LA is a dumpster fire of an organization and he won’t get moved.

And I’m okay with him retiring an Angel
I'd be okay with Trout, he just makes way too much money to take on. He has another 4 years after this one, at 37M per.
 
I hope he stays put. The Angels finally have some semblance of talent around him now. The rotation is young and has been impressive so far. The offense isn't much outside of Trout, but they have 4-5 decent hitters. They really just need some BP help to be competitive, which is super easy to find.

We won't do it during the season, but the Angels would make a great match for a Sean Murphy trade.
 
It would be cool to see Trout traded to a contender. We have an opening in LF and a DH to rotate so if we could get that price below 30 million and use Murphy in the trade. Having Trout between Acuna and Olson would be crazy.
 
The angels still insist on playing Trout in CF. I don’t get it.
He's a future HOFer and a franchise icon. He's going to play where he wants.

But the defense has definitely fallen off. He's no longer a positive fielder out there and he is way more likely to injure himself in CF. You would think they would at least try to move him to a corner OF spot.
