Mike Trout has been the best things about the Angels since he burst on the scene in 2012. Trout has won two AL MVP awards and could have won even more if the teams he has been on were more successful. Only once in his seven seasons in Anaheim did the Angels make the playoffs and they were unceremoniously swept out in the first round by the Kansas City Royals.
Trout is now approaching the prime of his career and is two years away from becoming a free agent. The Angels are making an effort this Winter to re-sign Trout before he hits the open market after the 2020 season.
