What's up with Mike Trout?
He's 1-for-18 this month with 13 strikeouts.
Earlier this season, he had an 0-for-26 skid over a 7-game span. I do not recall him being so prone to slumps in the past. .

maybe he is intimidated by Ohtani's star power.
maybe he is mortal. regardless he is having an abnormal Trout hear but he is still having a great year with 23 HR, 53runs and 48 rbi thru 1/2 a season. IF he stays health he could have over 40 HR and over 100 runs and 100 RBi. I would love for some of my players to have that down year

Why is he rotting away in Anaheim? That's the bigger question.
And no, I'm not saying he should go to a big market team like the Dodgers, Mets, Yankees or Phillies. But he should at least be on a contender.

Because he chose to waste away in Anaheim.

Sadly yes. Takes the money, takes the weather, and a lot less stress but limits the legend that he could be above what he is if he made it to the playoffs and did some heroics or won a championship or something

He's 3-for-4 tonight with a homer and a stolen base- which is one more than Miggie has.

Any team in baseball would have paid him record money. He's a generational player and at that point injuries weren't a major issue. Maybe it was a family decision with his wife, who knows, but it's tempting to say playing for a contender just wasn't a priority for him.
