Phillies Rumors: Team to Make 'Big Play' for Mike Trout After Angels Contract

The Philadelphia Phillies may have their eyes on Bryce Harper or Manny Machado this offseason, but the league's biggest fish could be joining them in the near future.

According to Jon Heyman of Fancred, the National League East team "will make a big play for Mike Trout in two years" if he doesn't sign an extension with the Los Angeles Angels, where he has played his entire career.

Heyman noted an extension in "unlikely" at the time for Trout even though he enjoys playing for the Angels. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2021 under his current contract.
