Mike Trout’s Former Teammate Reveals Information About the Star’s Future with the Angels

Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout is loyal to a fault, but despite the team’s historically poor season, Trout has consistently demonstrated his loyalty.

However, the disappointment of constant losses does not escape the attention of either him or his fans.

Now that his former teammate Shohei Ohtani is playing in the World Series in just his first season after leaving the Angels, the question arises: Could Ohtani’s quick success elsewhere also prompt Trout to consider leaving the Halos?

Trout has a no-trade clause in his contract, meaning any move would have to be his decision. But does he want to leave?

According to his former Angels teammate Jered Weaver, Trout is not looking for a new club.

Weaver believes Trout believes being with the Angels gives him the best chance to create a lasting legacy.

“I don’t think Trout will ever ask for a trade; he’s just not the same,” Weaver shared, hinting at Trout’s deep commitment to the team.

Weaver noted that Trout feels at home in Anaheim and hopes to give back to the city by organizing a championship there. For Trout, winning one World Series with the Angels would mean more than chasing multiple titles with other teams. He sincerely wants to honor the city that was his home for many years.

“Nobody wants it more than Mike,” Weaver said in “Dirty Territory.” “He is one of the most competitive people I have ever met.”

Weaver went on to say that Trout’s competitive spirit is relentless – whether it’s ping pong, cards or billiards, he always strives to come out on top.

However, the last few seasons have been difficult for Trout as he has been injured frequently. This is especially frustrating for Trout, who is looking to make even more contributions to his team. But these continued failures raise the question: Is it time for Trout to consider moving away from center field?

Trout is willing to do whatever it takes to help his team win, even if that includes changing positions. He is open to more opportunities as a designated hitter and may move to a corner spot in the outfield to relieve pressure on his knees.

But owner Arte Moreno also has a job to do, namely build a competitive team around Trout, and if the status quo continues like it did in Anaheim, that could push Trout out the door.
