They probably just need to hang on to him, they suck at making deals.........CJ Wilson, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton. Of course if your another team and with the Angels track record, you might be able to offer them a peanut butter sandwich and a player to be named later.

Shouldn't this be in the pro baseball section?

Depends on what they can get for him. People thought the Cowboys were nuts for dealing away Herschel Walker to Minnesota, but that trade helped build a team that eventually won three Super Bowls.

Re: Is It Time For The Angels to Trade Mike Trout?

They aren't a small market team by any means so I don't see the reasoning. It really comes down to drafting/trading better..based on their history do you really think they'll get good players for Mike Trout? Their scouting department is the problem. They aren't drafting well. They consistently have the worst system in baseball year in and year out, it's no wonder they can't turn the corner.

Yup. They ain't winning with him and only him. They have no one coming up. It's just like when A-Rod signed with Texas. He was putting up 50 hrs and 150 rbis.....for a last place team. This ain't basketball. One player ain't enough to win. And the longer they wait, the less they get for him. They can get like 5-6 positions filled right now for him. Every year they wait is one less player that would get included in the trade. And then in 4 years, he'll be gone anyways and off to a team with a future.

Re: Is It Time For The Angels to Trade Mike Trout?

Not only do the Angels have an absolutely terrible farm system, they are a team that has one of the worst contracts in baseball (Pujols) and are paying Josh Hamilton over $20M to play against them. Richards needs TJS and it is likely that Heaney will need it as well. Right now it's looking like they can either keep Trout and remain a 75-80 win team and hope they can convince him to re-sign, or they can fix many of their problems with 4 or 5 top prospects rather than 1 Mike Trout.

I think the only teams that could afford to trade for Trout are the Red Sox, Phillies, and Dodgers. Here are some potential packages that I can't see the Angels saying no to...

LAD: Pederson, Seager, Urias, +
BOS: Moncada, Benintendi, Rodriguez, Swihart/Vazquez, +
PHI: Franco, Herrera, Crawford, Velasquez, Appel

Trade him to the Braves.

Nah jk lol. It seems any position player who comes to Atl suddenly forgets how to hit. I'll pass.

On-topic: IMO trading him won't solve all their problems. They're basically between a rock and a hard place now.
