Astros trade package to land Angels' Mike Trout
Trout is in his 12th season with the Angels. For most of that time, he has been the absolute best player in the MLB. Though he has dealt with injuries over the last few seasons, he's still one of the best to play baseball today. He will be ranked among the absolute best MLB players, perhaps the best, by the time his career is done.
However, fans of baseball needs to see Mike Trout play October baseball. That is something the Angels haven't managed to do despite having Trout and superstar Shohei Ohtani. This is why the Angels might entertain trading Trout. This would be the best way to set up a rebuild or a quick rebuild. The Houston Astros need a centerfielder or left fielder and have the ability to pay Trout's contract and prospect cost.
