Contrary to popular Twitter belief, Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani can have an off night on the mound just like imperfect human beings. That was very much apparent Wednesday night when the New York Yankees gave Ohtani a rude welcome in the Bronx, scoring seven runs on just two hits off of him. Ohtani […]

The Los Angeles Angels recently released Albert Pujols, who was well past his prime. The Halos still have two brilliant baseball players. Shohei Ohtani is entering his prime, and Mike Trout is squarely in the middle of his prime. The problem for the Angels: Trout won’t play for the next month and a half at […]

An era officially came to an end on Thursday when the Los Angeles Angels designated future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols for assignment. The 10-time All-Star wasn’t happy with the lack of playing time which led to the Angels letting him go. Mike Trout has played alongside Pujols since 2012, when the Dominican was in […]

It appears that Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout is a fan of Twitch phenom TimTheTatMan, who revealed on one of his streams that Trout apparently followed him on social media.

Over a year ago, Mike Trout signed a 12-year, $426.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Angeles, becoming the richest athlete in North American sports history. However, once Patrick Mahomes inks his monumental extension with the Kansas City Chiefs, he’ll surpass Trout’s contract, per ESPN’s Field Yates. Surpassing Mike Trout's $426.5M for the largest contract […]

There’s no denying that the coronavirus pandemic has had an adverse effect on the financial situations of most folks in the nation. Well, this certainly isn’t the case for one basketball memorabilia aficionado who reportedly just bid $960,000 on a rookie card of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. Here’s an image of the card […]

The Major League Baseball Players Association is heavily expected to counter MLB’s economic proposal by the end of this week, one that was met with ire from some of the stars of the game. The MLBPA’s plan will include more than 100 games and a guarantee of full prorated salaries for the 2020 season, according […]

A recent MLB proposal has left players outraged, as the deep salary cuts would affect all players but especially the highest-paid stars. Take Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout for example — the highest-paid player in 2020. Trout would  make $5,748,577 of his $37,666,666 full-fledged salary under a proposed 82-game season. That equates to […]

With the market of top-tier free agents seemingly dwindling down, teams are going to be forced to go the extra mile to sign them, and it seems as though the Los Angeles Angels, among other teams, are finding that out first hand. While they have been included in most starting pitcher rumors the entirety of […]

With the Los Angeles Angels having made one major splash in free agency with the signing of Anthony Rendon, their failed pursuit of a second, Gerrit Cole and Madison Bumgarner, has made them look a different direction. According to Jon Morosi, the Angels are highly motivated to make a move to upgrade their starting pitching, […]

With the centerpiece of the franchise re-signing for what seems to be his final contract before retiring, the Los Angeles Angels have to be happy. They made it through countless years of struggling, stinking, and middling performances, and were still able to retain their best player, Mike Trout, for the long haul. But with the […]

After having served only as the team’s designated hitter in 2019, Los Angeles Angels’ two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani has been cleared to throw off of a pitching mound again, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Angels general manager Billy Eppler stated these thoughts on Tuesday to the media, which creates a bit of buzz surrounding […]

Los Angeles Angels centerfielder Mike Trout won his third American League MVP Award on Thursday night in an extremely close race. Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman finished in second place after earning 13 first-place votes (Trout had 17), and Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien rounded out the finalists in third. 2019 AL MVP: Mike […]

Even with the firing of Joe Maddon as their manager, the Chicago Cubs did right in the first place by bringing him in to right the ship back in 2015. All he managed to do was lead the team to the playoffs in four of his five seasons, including one postseason trip that resulted in […]

CLUTCH SUMMARY: Mike Trout pretty much has the American League MVP award wrapped up already. Seriously. Continuing his torrid play in the MLB, Trout has been an unstoppable force for the Angels, and 2019 is another season to cement that. The Houston Astros look to be the only team that has multiple players in the […]

As everyone knows, Mike Trout is good at baseball. Fans know that, the Los Angeles Angels know that and his paycheck certainly shows how good he is at playing the sport of baseball. Known for his all-around play as well as being just a really good guy, Trout’s prowess at the plate is carried out […]

The All-Star game has come and gone, and with the 2019 MLB season over 50 percent complete, it is time to hand out midseason awards to some of the best and brightest in baseball. From breakout stars to rookie sensations and the most consistent superstars in the game continuing to perform at the highest level, […]

Mike Trout, the All-Star outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels, is known to be a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan. Trout has high expectations for his favorite NFL team in the 2019 season. At the MLB All-Star Game Media Day, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports asked the outfielder what Trout’s expectations were for the team in […]

The American League is reminiscent of an MLB video game arcade mode, in such that any plethora of players on the top of their game can be chosen on any given night and it shows simply how dominant they truly can be. Pitchers and position players alike, the AL seems to be the best conference […]

Sometimes a person is forced to eat crow. That was my first thought when I heard the news that future Hall of Fame outfielder Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels had agreed to a 12-year, nearly $430 million deal. Two weeks ago, I laid out the case for trading Trout before the 2019 trade […]

Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout joined forces with Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck for a hilarious ad for BodyArmor, the official sports drink of the NCAA. The ad is slated to air on Thursday on CBS when No. 4 seed Florida State takes on top-seeded Gonzaga in the Sweet 16 for the West […]

With the constant stream of money being funneled to players recently in the MLB, big-time contracts are being handed out to any players who have been on the level of what a superstar is. Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Nolan Arenado, Mike Trout, Blake Snell, and Paul Goldschmidt have all been forced into a new tax […]

So much for a quiet MLB offseason. While the first few months of the winter felt fairly quiet, the signings of Manny Machado and Bryce Harper appear to have created a butterfly effect on the rest of the league. The Los Angeles Angels–feeling the pressure of retaining the best player in baseball–awarded Mike Trout with […]

The world of North American professional sports was shaken from the ground up when the Los Angeles Angels signed Mike Trout to a record-breaking contract extension worth $430 million over 12 years earlier this week. The monumental deal was so groundbreaking that even NFL players like Emmanuel Sanders couldn’t help but chime in on the issue. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers won’t be going to the playoffs this season, the team’s superstar forward in LeBron James missed a slew of games due to injury and his job may be in jeopardy due to all of this but head coach Luke Walton still has a pretty good sense of humor so it appears. […]

When Manny Machado and Bryce Harper reached record-breaking deals with the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies, respectively, the attention of the baseball world turned to Mike Trout. The Los Angeles Angels centerfielder is unquestionably the best player in the game, but has been to the postseason just once in his tenure with the club. […]

Mike Trout has reached a beast of the deal with the Angels. To avoid burying the lede, it is a 12-year, $430 million contract extension. For the first few months of the 2018-19 MLB offseason, Free Agency was relatively dormant. The two biggest superstars on the market–Manny Machado and Bryce Harper–remained unsigned, and most of the […]

The Boston Red Sox were the story of the 2018 season, and at the center of it all was right fielder Mookie Betts. Betts led all of baseball–including pitchers–in fWAR (10.4), batting average (.346) and slugging percentage (.640) while hitting 32 homers, stealing 30 bases and winning his third consecutive Gold Glove. In one of […]

Mike Trout has established himself unequivocally as the best player in baseball. While the 27-year-old centerfielder has pair of MVPs and a Rookie of the Year Award on his resume, consider this tidbit: Trout has the highest fWAR (64.0) between 2012 and 2018. The next closest? Josh Donaldson, at… 36.8 fWAR. In other words, Trout […]

For months on end, the main questions of this MLB offseason pertained to two 26-year-old stars: Manny Machado and Bryce Harper. Where would they sign? How much would they sign for? Could one of these megastars be the first $400 milli0n man in big league history? When the dust settled, Machado signed a 10-year, $300 […]

The Los Angeles Angels enter the 2019 Major League Baseball season with a white elephant in the room. That white elephant got bigger when the San Diego Padres signed Manny Machado to a 10-year, $300 million deal. Days later, Bryce Harper agreed to his 13-year, $330 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. Two megastars, two […]

The Bryce Harper sweepstakes came to a close when he signed with the Philadelphia Phillies late last week. Nearly everyone across Major League Baseball expected him to sign a $300 million deal, despite reports that teams were looking at short-term contracts. The biggest surprise came with the Phillies’ 13-year commitment. The Phillies signed Harper to […]

Coming off a season that resulted in yet another World Series championship earned, the Boston Red Sox do not have that many areas that need to be improved. However, their bullpen, after inevitably losing Craig Kimbrel (even though he still remains unsigned) will need to reshuffle and figure out who will slot in at the […]

Bryce Harper only just signed with the Philadelphia Phillies five days ago, but already, he is making his pitch for Angels superstar Mike Trout to join him in the City of Brotherly Love when Trout becomes a free agent after the 2020 season. While appearing on 94WIP, an FM radio station in Philly, Harper explicitly […]

Despite possessing the best player in the MLB in Mike Trout, the Los Angeles Angels have floundered to consecutive 80-82 finishes. The franchise has been somewhat hamstrung in adding talent due to lucrative contracts that were handed out to Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson. Additionally, Bleacher Report ranked the Angels as having the 22nd-best farm […]

In a recent report, the Philadelphia Phillies, who have constantly been a factor in this offseason rumor mill, seem to be at it again. With a look further down the road, the team is reportedly considering creating an all-MVP outfield no sooner than 2021. Having already added Andrew McCutchen and with eyes on bringing in […]
