This article was originally published on www.si.com as Mike Trout Addresses Rumors About Him Potentially Getting Traded to Phillies One Day. Over the years, there has often been trade talk or speculation surrounding Angels designated hitter Mike Trout, and particularly with the Phillies.

If not for a rash of injuries that have seen Trout play over 100 games just once in the last five full seasons - and just 29 games last year - he would have hit those milestones a while ago. When the Angels were last in Philadelphia in 2023, Trout was on the injured list.

The Phillies are hosting the Angels for a three-game series leading to further discussion about a potential Mike Trout homecoming.
