Mike Trout confident he’ll stay with the Los Angeles Angels after trade deadline moves

Outfielder Mike Trout said the recent trade‑deadline activity did not change his outlook on remaining with the Los Angeles Angels. “Nah, it hasn’t changed anything,” Trout told reporters, adding that the team’s recent moves are “a necessary step in the right direction.”

Trout is under a 12‑year contract that runs through the 2030 season and pays about $37 million a year. The Angels entered the deadline with the league’s worst record at 43‑70 and shipped five players – right‑hander Jose Soriano, outfielder Jo Adell and relievers Ryan Zeferjahn, Brent Suter and Kirby Yates – in exchange for prospects. Trout was invited into the front office’s trade room to be briefed on the plans but did not offer input on the transactions.

A betting‑market platform, Kalshi, listed an 85 % probability that Trout will stay with the Angels and a 9 % chance he will move to the Philadelphia Phillies. The market reflects Trout’s own statements that he wants to remain in Los Angeles, citing his no‑trade clause and 10‑and‑5 rights. Trout’s career stats include a .291 batting average, 422 home runs and 1,058 RBIs.
