Mike Trout blasted his 27th home run of the season in Sunday's season finale against the Rangers, but it wasn't enough to lead the Angels to victory.
Trout finished the afternoon 1-for-3 and also drew a walk. The 22-year-old superstar wraps up another MVP-caliber season, slashing .323/.432/.557 with 27 homers, 109 runs, 97 RBI and 33 stolen bases. He'll be one of the first two names called on draft day in virtually all fantasy drafts next season.

Mike Trout's agent, Craig Landis, told Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times that there haven't been any talks with the Angels about a long-term deal.
"I'll answer one question on contract talks - there have been no discussions," said Landis. "Obviously, Mike's future is extremely bright. We'll be patient. Mike's a young guy. However it goes, he's going to make a lot of money and be a great player." There has been some speculation that there is some animosity between the two sides after the Angels took a hardline stance about his salary for 2013, but Trout can't go anywhere for a while. The 22-year-old will be arbitration-eligible for the first time after the 2014 season and is scheduled to hit free agency after 2017.

Mike Trout went 2-for-5 with a double, homer, three RBI and two runs scored in a 12-1 demolition the A's on Monday.
Trout had gone hit-less over his last three games, but don't think that he was slumping; the center fielder walked six times. Trout saw an eight-game streak of drawing a walk snapped on Monday (he's first in the AL with 100 free passes), but chances are that the Angels don't care. The All-World talent is slashing .331/.436/.564 with 24 homers, 89 RBI, 33 steals and 106 runs.

Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored against the Rays on Wednesday.
The stolen base was Trout's first since he missed games due to a hamstring injury, so it seems as though his wheels are feeling better. He's also had three straight multi-hit games, so his bat is just fine, too. The outfielder is batting .332/.427/.574 through 127 games.

Shuck, Peter Bourjos and Kole Calhoun Tuesday.
