Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was removed from the game late Saturday night after going 0 for 5 at the plate.
The 34 year old star has been the subject of growing trade speculation in recent days. Fans and analysts have linked him to teams such as the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees are dealing with an injury to Aaron Judge, and the Phillies have stayed connected to Trout rumors for weeks.
Trout signed a long term extension worth more than $400 million several years ago and has a no trade clause. He has stayed loyal to the Angels through years of losing seasons and injury setbacks, but the team sits near the bottom of the standings again in 2026.
Trout has not addressed the rumors. The Angels have not commented on any possible deal.
