So on Sunday morning the Angels officially announced that Mike Trout is being shut down for the season and will have surgery to remove the neuroma later this week. Thus ends Trout’s quest for 50 homers and to set the Angels’ single-season home run record.. (Troy Glaus can breath a sigh of relief for now).
Not that it is the most important thing for Trout and the Angels, but the big question now becomes has Trout done enough to win his third AL MVP awar oof his career. He has been a front-runner for most of the season and is leading the league in multiple offensive categories including hone runs, walks, on-base-percentage, and Wins Above Replacement, which is also known as WAR.
