The Los Angeles Angels are willing to trade Mike Trout if the All-Star outfielder requests one, according to a USA Today report.

Earlier this month, Trout said he plans to discuss the future path of the organization with team management in the offseason.

\"When it\'s brought up in the offseason, you\'ve obviously got to talk about it, and think about it,\" Trout told the Orange County Register. \"I haven\'t thought about it yet. There are going to be some conversations in the winter, for sure. Just to see the direction of everything and what the plan is.\"

They should've done it probably 3 years ago. He's 32 now so it's best to squeeze whatever value he has left on the trade market.

Teams would line up for Trout even with his injury concerns. But Angels would have eat big chunk of money owed to him, if they want a multi top-100 prospect return.

The financial burden of Trout does not warrant what he currently brings to the field. The Angels will be on the hook for his contract whether or not he finishes out his career in LA.

We'll revisit this same conversation with Aaron Judge in a few years.

This is your cue, Phillies. Bring Trout home.
