PHILADELPHIA – Mike Trout can never get away from the trade speculation.
Trout, a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, hears about it from his cushy front-row seats at Lincoln Financial Field. Talk radio will always connect the Angels superstar to his hometown Phillies.
“I see it all the time,” Trout said. “I think just being a South Jersey kid, I’m always going to get it. Growing up, loved Philly. These were my sports teams growing up.”
It’s not often that the Millville, N.J. native gets the chance to play in his hometown. He is starting in just his sixth career game at Citizens Bank Park, and first since June of 2022.
