Mike Trout Should Demand a Trade from the Angels to a Contender, Right? | The Rich Eisen Show

0:00 And all I'm asking for is if they're not going to do nothing for my angels,

0:05 then give my trout a chance.

0:06 Send him off to New York or send him off to the Dodgers.

0:10 why I mean we all know we all know if he ever decides to, you know,

0:14 make that decision where we all assume he would want to go Nick and I I

0:18 I I feel like I should give you one of those famous and show bro hugs.

0:22 Nick's feeling it right now, man.

0:23 Here comes I'm going to go you know,

0:25 my arms out now hold on a minute we tap tap

0:27 and then we separate and just I give you a little light hug

0:30 there but I I appreciate the call Nick and thank you

0:33 for saying what you said about the show call back and you know,

0:35 hopefully better times ahead for your halos.

0:37 I felt that man.

0:38 I he was Yeah.

0:40 Felt that.

0:41 very emotional right there.

0:42 Yeah.

0:42 Um but I feel like Angels fans are are are broken.

0:48 I I They were off to a decent start this year.

0:50 They've only they've only won one of the last

0:52 came when they came into New York, they were world beaters.

0:55 They beat the crap out of the Yankees.

0:57 And And ever since then they've gone right off a cliff.

1:00 And Trout is back.

1:00 He's having a great season.

1:02 Well, Trout you know,

1:03 being from South Jersey I think Phillies fans

1:06 will raise their hands and say we'll take him.

1:08 But it feels like he would have asked out by now.

1:11 It's I don't know at this point in time the Angels are 10 under.

1:17 10 under.

1:18 Worst record in the American League.

1:20 So I don't understand it.

1:22 I don't understand it.

1:23 He's But he'd have to ask right?

1:24 Like they're not just going to flip him.

1:26 No, he'd have to ask.

1:28 But he'd have to ask and you have to ask yourself you know,

1:32 I love living in Southern California.

1:34 Uh maybe his family does too.

1:36 Maybe he does too and that's the end of that.

1:37 He'll play baseball and he makes an incredible amount of money.

1:40 He can always go to Philadelphia Eagles games whenever he wants.

1:43 Unfortunately for him, he can start going to them in the 1st of October usually.

1:49 You know, the the Ohtani decides to go and goes

1:52 up the up the interstate and all he's done is win

1:57 World Series ever since he made that decision but Mike Trout

2:00 just does not seem to um Let's put it this way.

2:07 You got to think he has those thoughts.

2:09 He just doesn't have the desire to act on them.

2:11 Yeah, he did just open a golf course with Tiger in New Jersey.

2:14 So I mean he does have some East Coast Well,

2:16 I mean that's that's his that's his neck of the woods.

2:20 Yeah.

2:20 And your team my team but Jake's team, you know, Yeah.

2:29 We'll take him in a heartbeat.

2:31 He's signed through 2030.

2:32 I know.

2:33 So he's got contractual like control.

2:37 It's not like he's walking anywhere.

2:40 But if he goes, do Angel fans just say that now we're really done?

2:44 Maybe that's part of the reason why they don't countenance that.

2:47 Yeah.

2:47 But it's happened again.

2:49 And he's healthy now.

2:51 It's not like they're crapping out because he's not healthy.

2:55 They are 10 under.

2:56 They've lost nine of their last 10.

2:57 Mhm.

3:00 You know, six behind the Athletics.

3:03 We're only two over.

3:06 Lucky they're not in the Yankees division.

3:07 Although they play them more maybe.

3:10 And they played them really well.

3:13 But I I I just don't see it.

3:16 That would be a heck of a trade deadline if he decides to come

3:19 out and pull an NBA NFL type move and say I'm done here.

3:23 We're out of here.

3:25 Who wants me in the last six years of my you know, career?

3:27 Who wants me in the last four years of my contract?

3:30 I think everybody would.

3:31 Yeah.

3:32 If he's going to play like this Don Mattingly can know what to do with him.

3:36 Hey, you made it all the way to the end.

3:37 Thanks for that.
