Responding to inquiries from Japanese and US reporters, Trout will not be traded
Angels GM Perry Minassian completely denied rumors that outfielder Mike Trout would be traded away in an interview with the press at the winter meeting in Nashville, Tennessee on the 5th (6th Japan time). He declared, “100%.”
Trout signed a 12-year, $426.5 million contract extension in March 2019. However, the team failed to advance to the postseason for nine consecutive years, with no signs of improvement. In September of this year, it was reported that the team would be willing to trade Trout if he wanted to leave.
The Angels are aiming to extend the contract of pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who became a free agent. It seems possible that Trout’s “remaining” role will have an impact on the two-way player’s departure.
