MLB Trade Rumors: Mike Trout To Phillies In Proposed Blockbuster
No matter how bad the Los Angeles Angels have been over the years, Mike Trout has repeatedly insisted he was not interested in going elsewhere. Shohei Ohtani left. But Trout still remained steadfast. He was staying in Orange County. Maybe now, after watching Ohtani win a couple of World Series with the Dodgers, would Trout reconsider? He hasn't been in the postseason since 2014, the first of his three MVP seasons. And the Angels haven't had a winning record since 2015. If Trout fin...

Late Offense, Clutch Defense Lead Astros to 5-4 Victory Over Angels in 10
The Astros Road trip began with a little extra flavor for all, going 10 innings from Anaheim and in the process, producing one of the bigger comebacks of the year. From Jose Altuve’s daring baserunning to Brice Matthews one hop rocket throw to home plate, negating a slide by Mike Trout, it was […]
Astros GM: “Zero Discussions” About Trading Alvarez, Peña
The Astros came back from a ninth-inning deficit to take an extra-inning win tonight over the Angels. That improves their record to 31-37. They’ve evened out after an 8-18 April but haven’t really cut into the early-season hole they dug, playing slightly above .500 since the beginning of May. That would ordinarily point toward a […]
