We must be nearing the MLB Trade Deadline because it is time for our annual thought experiment about the Philadelphia Phillies potentially acquire Millville, NJ native Mike Trout in a trade.
Joe DeCamara, Jon Ritchie, James Seltzer, and Devan Kaney discussed this on Tuesday's 94WIP Morning Show, admitting that Trout does "check a lot of boxes" for the Phils.
Trout, 33, will earn $37.1M per season through 2030. He has a full no trade clause.
Trout, an 11-time All-Star and 3-time AL MVP, is slashing just .223/.306/.453 with 10 HR this season. The LA Angels are 33-34 and the Phillies desperately need outfield help with Johan Rojas, Brandon Marsh, and Max Kepler struggling to produce offensively.
