Is It Time For The Angels to Trade Mike Trout?

You can have Harper and Trout, but without the pieces around them you won't be winning a world series. Now I'm not saying they should just trade him to trade him. They should only do it if the right offer is their. If I was the Angels I would be actively shopping Trout once it nears deadline day. The Angels have the worst farm system and trading Trout would help towards changing that. With no talent coming up through the minors and an owner who seems reluctant to go above the luxury tax, and the albatross that is the Pujols contract on the books, how far can the Angels go anytime soon? To be honest, no matter what they do with Trout, I can't see them winning a world series for years.

There's no trade out there an opposing GM would put together that would match Trout's production. This is a stupid discussion.
