While much of the Angels’ young core has taken steps forward throughout the 2025 season, it has overshadowed one of the more significant developments in the lineup. Mike Trout is having the worst season of his Hall of Fame career, and it is beginning to beg the question whether this is an extended, arduous slump for the three time Most Valuable Player or if this is simply the beginning of the end for the greatest Halo of all time.
Angels fans are well used to aging veterans who are in the lineup purely out of respect and to build on their legacy.
