Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout went 1-for-5 with a run scored in the Angels 10-2 runaway win over the Mariners. Trout has gotten off to a quiet start, hitting only .211 with eight strikeouts through his first 19 at-bats. That being said, fantasy owners should take a breath. Even in the 60-game format, a handful of games does not mean Trout has lost his offensive potency. The perennial All-Star is due to break out any game now.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout made his intentions about the 2020 season loud and clear; "I'm playing". The All-World slugger has made his discomfort known through the course of this proposed reset for weeks now, especially with his wife expecting their first child around August 3. But Trout appears to be comfortable enough with the protocols in place and his trepidation has subsided enough to fully commit to the season. This is a sigh of relief for fantasy owners as Trout, once ...

With Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout and his wife, Jessica, expecting their first child in August, he is discussing the possibility of sitting out in 2020 on a daily basis. "Honestly, I still don't feel comfortable," Trout told reporters Friday. The three-time American League MVP continues to have discussions with general manager Billy Eppler and manager Joe Maddon as well. He left open the possibility of not playing until the baby arrives. It sounds as though Trout is leaning towards ...

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is in the team's 60-man player pool for the upcoming 60-game season. There was some question as to whether Trout would agree to play this year amid the coronavirus pandemic with his wife set to give birth this summer. The 28-year-old superstar could still miss a bit of time in August when she's due, but the fact that he's not sitting out of the 2020 season means that he's automatically in consideration as a top-three fantasy selection. There's a little ...

Executive director of the MLB Players Association Tony Clark is optimistic that games will be played at some point in 2020, but how and when that comes about is still up in the air. "We dont have the answers," Clark said, "and we dont expect those to come anytime soon." Players would be willing to play in empty stadiums without fans, providing it's safe, but the idea of quarantining all MLB clubs in Arizona has met some resistance already from players like Mike Trout and Clayton Kershaw. No ...

The American League has fallen significantly behind the National League in terms of quality fantasy outfielders. Of the top-10 outfielders by ADP, only three (Mike Trout, J.D. Martinez, and Austin Meadows) represent the American League.The relative lack of elite talent makes avoiding busts especially crucial in AL-only leagues, as a couple of early-round misses could be the difference between a championship season and a missed playoff berth. Even in mixed leagues, busts are important to avoid ...

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout walked and scored in the first inning of the Angels 7-3 spring training win over the Reds. The Angels unleashed most of their starters for the first time this spring and scored two runs in each of their first three innings played for an early 6-0 lead. The team's new-look lineup certainly is intriguing on paper and could be a vast improvement from last year's disappointing club. Front and center will be Trout, the most talented hitter in the game and the ...

It has become fashionable for fantasy owners to suggest that perhaps this is the year that Mike Trout should be supplanted as the consensus first overall draft pick. Not one, but two other players - Ronald Acuna and Christian Yelich - are being regularly selected in early NFBC drafts ahead of the 28-year-old Trout, who would be considered one of the greatest to ever play the game and a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame, even if he chose to retire tomorrow.Truth be told, though, a certain subset of ...

A foot injury limited Mike Trout to 134 games in 2019, but that didnt stop him from hitting a career-high 45 homers to help capture his third AL MVP trophy. His remaining 5x5 roto numbers were sterling once again, but he did tie his career-low with 11 thefts. With his third straight injury-shortened season, the days of Trout stealing 25 bases could be gone as the Angels may limit his SB attempts to keep the 28-year-old healthy for a full season. Not often do you see the stock of a reigning MVP ...
