Trout has been one of the best players in the MLB. Despite his incredible talent, the Los Angeles Angels have been unable to make the playoffs since 2014 and have been one of the worst teams in the league.

Trout's presence in the team has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal Angels side. The team's lack of success has been a source of frustration for fans, and they are now ready to see Trout succeed on a winning team.

Baseball fans feel Mike Trout deserves to be on a team that can make the playoffs consistently and have a chance to win the World Series:

Ever since the start of his MLB career in 2011, Mike Trout has been with the LA Angels. Currently, the LA Angels and Mike have a 12-year, $426 million contract which was signed on March 20, 2019.
