Mike Trout is enjoying baseball again with Team USA, and the Los ... (The Desert Sun)

With the exception of Shohei Ohtani, the seventh wonder of the world, Mike Trout is surrounded by mediocrity on the Angels team.

How happy will their superstar be when he returns to a team that is long on promise and short on results? “You know, this is the most fun I’ve had on a baseball field in a while,” he said. Two-time All-Star pitcher Pete Richert and long-time manager and coach Tom Gamboa are the speakers at the next Hot Stove Luncheon on March 29 at Palm Valley Country Club. See Trout jump from the dugout for joy, salute his teammates, bounce around the bases. And Team USA is very good. He’s the captain and center fielder for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

When is Mike Trout a free agent? Breaking down Angels contract ... (Sporting News)

Mike Trout has been in the spotlight more than ever during the World Baseball Classic, and the Team USA captain hasn't disappointed.

And overall, Trout is on pace to be one of the greatest players in MLB history. Trout is on course for enshrinement in Cooperstown even with so much of his career still to be played. He was named Wilson's Defensive Player of the Year for the 2012 season but he has never won a Gold Glove while playing in center field, his primary position. Of course, if Trout ever decided to leave Los Angeles, the Angels would get a massive haul for him. The Angels also included a home game suite and Diamond Club seats as a part of the package. So, as long as Trout remains happy in Los Angeles, he will be able to stay there. So, it will be a long time before Trout is able to hit the open market. Trout signed a massive contract extension with the Angels on March 20, 2019. Mike Trout will become a free agent following the 2030 MLB season. So, what is Trout's status with the Angels and when might he shake loose? As Trout has enjoyed playing in the tournament, fans have enjoyed watching him play. I knew going in it was going to be a fun time.

MLB star Mike Trout has mega net worth thanks to fourth-largest ... (Daily Express)

MLB megastar Mike Trout may not have been able to capture the team success his individual abilities merit during his time with the Los Angeles Angels, ...

I was playing through it for a while and it was one of those things where it was time to figure it out. Trout has a net worth of £40.6million ($49.5m) according to Forbes’ 2022 rich list of athletes, thanks in large part to the record-breaking deal he agreed with his current club in 2019. In fact, in 2014 Trout became just the second baseball player to get his own signature shoe from Nike after Griffey Jr. Mike Trout is one of the greatest baseball players in MLB history who, like Ken Griffey Jr, Barry Bonds or Ted Williams, has found team success a little harder to come by when compared to his stacked individual trophy cabinet. Companies such as BodyArmor, J&J Snack Foods, Nike, Rawlings and Topps have all called upon the marketable star. Trout's tidy payday also saw him pocket a handsome £16.4m ($20m) signing bonus.
