The Mike Trout era will continue for the Los Angeles Angels.
During the MLB winter meetings Tuesday, general manager Perry Minasian definitively ruled out a trade involving the three-time MVP.
Rhett Bollinger @RhettBollinger<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Angels?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Angels</a> GM Perry Minasian: "Mike Trout is not getting traded. 100 percent."
The Angels missed the playoffs for the ninth straight season in 2023, meaning they've still reached the postseason only once in Trout's 13 years with the franchise. The short-term outlook isn't exactly rosy, either, with Shohei Ohtani potentially on his way out as a free agent.
Still, teams aren't typically in the business of trading away generational stars, especially when the player is under contract for seven more seasons.
