Mike Trout Looks Forward to New Era with Angels Following Team Sale

Mike Trout has shared his excitement about the Los Angeles Angels' recent sale to Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, indicating a desire to remain with the team during this transitional phase. The three-time AL MVP noted that the change in ownership, following Arte Moreno's tenure, is a positive development for the franchise.

Trout, who has been with the Angels for 16 years, acknowledged the team's long playoff drought, which has persisted since 2014. Despite the challenges, including a recent managerial change and an ongoing losing streak, he remains optimistic about the future. He is eager to meet new owner Stan Kroenke and looks forward to the next four years of his contract.

As Trout prepares for his 12th All-Star appearance, he has returned to center field this season, maintaining his health and performance. He has not yet communicated with Moreno since the sale, but he views this ownership change as an opportunity for a fresh start for both himself and the team.
