Angels GM Confirms: Mike Trout Will Not Be Traded

Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian has emphatically stated that superstar center fielder Mike Trout will not be traded, putting an end to any speculation. Trout, who has a full no-trade clause and is owed nearly $250 million over the next seven years, has seen his trade value diminish due to injuries and his age. Despite the Angels' lack of success in recent years, Trout has never expressed a desire to play for another team. The team is hoping for a healthy offseason for Trout, who has been limited by various injuries in recent seasons.

Shohei Ohtani Declined Angels' Offer for Testing Prior to UCL Tear

Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian revealed that Shohei Ohtani and his camp declined testing on his arm prior to the imaging that revealed his torn UCL. Ohtani will not pitch for the rest of the season, and it is unclear whether he will require surgery. Despite the injury, Ohtani returned to the Angels' lineup as a designated hitter. The Angels' decision not to insist on earlier testing has raised questions and could potentially impact their relationship with Ohtani, who is a pending free agent.

Shohei Ohtani's Refusal of Imaging Raises Concerns

Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian revealed that Shohei Ohtani declined imaging after leaving a game on August 3 due to cramping in his pitching hand and fingers. Ohtani returned to the mound six days later and pitched well before skipping a turn citing fatigue. However, he was removed from a recent game and a scan revealed a torn ulnar collateral ligament. Ohtani's decision not to undergo imaging earlier in the year has raised questions, but Minasian defended it, stating that it was initially believed to be a finger cramp. Ohtani's future plans regarding a potential second Tommy John surgery are still uncertain.
