The Los Angeles Angels have been a little better than many expected them to be this season, and the team is looking to end its long playoff drought. Los Angeles has at least been competitive throughout the year, and it has the organization dreaming of the postseason.

However, with so many teams vying for a playoff spot, it could be tough for the Angels unless they go on a massive streak down the stretch. There is a massive logjam of teams fighting for the wild-card spots in the American League, and it could see the Angels left as one of the teams on the outside looking in.

The Angels could try to make the playoffs, but it also could make sense to trade away some of their more veteran players. This team needs future assets, and the best way to make that happen is via trade.

This team has some good, young players on the roster, and they have shown strong promise this season. Building for the future may be the best case scenario for the Angels, but the front office has been stubborn about this in the past.

And with the MLB Trade Deadline just a few hours away from expiring, we should know more about how the Angels plan to operate this season.

This is a prediction, NOT a report!

Mike Trout Traded to New York Yankees

While the Angels are trying to fight for a postseason spot, the idea of trading Trout could make some sense. Los Angeles desperately needs more help in the farm system, and moving Trout could net them plenty of assets.

Trout has been putting together a strong season so far, and he has shown that he can stay healthy. Trout has hit .235 with 19 home runs and 47 runs batted in for the Angels this season.

While Trout may not want to be traded, he also wants to have a chance to win. If the Angels ever moved him, the New York Yankees would make a lot of sense.

Putting Trout into the lineup alongside Aaron Judge would give the Yankees one of the more feared duos in all of baseball. Trout could get fully reenergized being on a team that has a chance to win a World Series as well.

Trout is one of the best hitters that the game has ever seen, and he deserves a chance to go after a title. New York has the prospects and money to make a deal work, and Trout would get a chance to play for the iconic franchise over the last few years of his career.

The Yankees could bring in the multi-time MVP to go after a title, and this could be a blockbuster move for both sides.
