5 Reasons for Mike Trout’s Philadelphia Homecoming After Shohei Ohtani’s Exit – Former Phillies Rival Concurs

Mike Trout’s an Angel,” but it’s about time that this changes. Soon after the news about Shohei Ohtani moving to the Los Angeles Dodgers was out, there were angry demands from fans that Trout be traded too. The 9-year playoff drought for the Los Angeles Angels incumbent, Trout, does not do justice to his victory-hungry capabilities. It’s evident that he deserves to be “on a team that is playing deep into October”.

As for the Angels, the team has had two of the best players together for the past 6 seasons. ‘Troutani’ displayed a sensational camaraderie on the diamond, especially in their prime. Yet, the team environment was not ready to make it to the playoffs, let alone winning the World Series. Recognizing this, a former Philadelphia Phillies rival shares his candid opinion on where he’d love to see Mike Trout instead of LA.

Listing Out the Pros of Seeing Mike Trout With the Philadelphia Phillies

@TalkinBaseball_ tweeted a clip of his conversation with Chris Bassitt about the 32-year-old Angel. As the talk progressed, five primary reasons came up as to why the 3x AL MVP should move out of Los Angeles to Philadelphia. The Toronto Blue Jays pitcher affirmed with his words, “I would love to see him with Philly”.

First, Trout’s opening up to the possibility of getting traded is the same as opening up to the possibility of coming home. Second, apart from having the comfort of being close to home, he’d be juxtaposed with the power-packed Bryce Harper. Them together would just be “apex” and he finally might have a real chance to make it to the playoffs. Third, the Phillie Phanatics would welcome him with open hands.

Speaking of the fan base at the City of Brotherly Love. Their eclectic fans would celebrate the mutual growth of the Harper-Trout combination and more wins. Fourth, Mike in Philly would work out well for his wife since her family is from New Jersey. Well, this 11-time MLB All-Star has more ties to the state, which brings us to the fifth reason. TROUT NATIONAL – THE RESERVE, his new golf course with Tiger Woods is located in Vineland, New Jersey. Considering these pros, isn’t it viable to consider a trade?

Mike Trout – Trade Scenarios, Contract Constraints, and the Dilemma of the Losing Los Angeles Angels 

Theoretically, Trout should be traded as soon as possible. Despite their former team member Ohtani having won MVP awards due to his efforts, the Angels did lose 89 games this season. They currently rank among the worst teams for 2024 according to projections, and the farm system supporting them is reportedly one of the poorest. It’s obvious that this team needs to be rebuilt. However, there’s a clause.

Trout has a deal in place that runs through the 2030 campaign for an average yearly value of $35.6 million. His contract has a complete no-trade clause, and he has repeatedly stated that he is committed to Los Angeles. He is free to remain with the Angels for as long as he desires. However, the world demands otherwise.
