Although the Angels lost more than they’ve gained this offseason, one constant remains superstar outfielder Mike Trout.
Trout will enter his 14th year in the league, all with the Halos. In his tenure, he’s brought fans, teammates, and everyone around the organization great joy.
Trout’s talent hasn’t resulted in a single playoff victory for the Angels, or even a postseason berth since 2014. But there’s no doubting the natural talent he possesses.
Since his 2011 debut, Trout wasted little time establishing himself as the best player in the league in a short time. Although only 32 years old, Trout already has many miles on his baseball resumé.
These past few seasons have been rough on the future Hall of Famer. Injuries have limited him to 237 of a possible 486 games the last three years.
However, Angels general manager Perry Minasian believes Trout can reach the pinnacle again. In an interview this week with reporters, including USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, Minasian said he believes Trout can lead the pack of the American League MVP conversations this season.
