Phillies get reality check on Mike Trout trade due to one factor no one is talking about originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
For some odd reason, many are now starting to suggest that the Los Angeles Angels could move on from Mike Trout.
Trout, by far the greatest player in Angels history, will go down as one of the greatest players to ever step foot on the diamond. He's done nothing throughout his career but perform at a ridiculous level, and it almost upsets me that people say he's turning back the clock. Remember now, this is Mike Trout we're talking about. This guy is a first-ballot Hall of Famer and should get 100% of the votes.
However, the talk is still there surrounding Trout, and there seems to at least be some sort of question about what his future in Los Angeles looks like.
According to the latest from Robert Murray, there's more to it than the Angels just trading Trout. In fact, he has a full no-trade clause that isn't being talked about enough.
“I’m incredibly skeptical that Trout will be on the move. He’s had numerous opportunities to approach the Angels in years past to say he wants out of Anaheim and has yet to do so; he’s incredibly loyal. He also has a full no-trade clause, and his contract, which pays him $37.1 million per season through 2030, remains a huge obstacle,” Murray of FanSided wrote.
Perhaps Trout goes to the Angels and says that he's willing to waive that no-trade clause for the right team. I have no idea what he's thinking, just as nobody does besides himself.
However, as Murray touched on, it would be a bit surprising to see him do so at this stage of his career, considering he's got no reason to.
