Trout
Total WAR - 86.2
Best 8 year span WAR - 71.7 (2012-2019)
Pujols
Total WAR - 101.2
Best 8 year span WAR - 69.2 (2003-2010)
Pujols played till 42 years old, Trout is 33, so he's got a chance to catch Pujols in total WAR.

Interesting and helpful stats. I interpret them to mean that Pujols and Trout were equally good in their primes.
