That’s the thing. IS he intact? Trout hasn’t played close to a full season since 2019 (I don’t count 2020).
He hasn’t played an actual full season since 2016.
I think the Angels would trade him for any close to top 100 prospect, and not much else, if that team was willing to pick up his salary for the next 7 years.
They want HIM to ask for the trade, so they can save face with all the fans who can’t already tell the team is itching to dump him.
I think they’ll have a hard time finding a team who will take Trout off their hands, unless the Angels throw a lot of salary relief money in the pot…..and a lot more then the 30 million the Yankees got from the Marlins for Stanton.
