Mike Trout is healthy and producing. That hasn't been enough for the Shohei Ohtani

Mike Trout has been healthy this year and is leading the major leagues in home runs.
So far, that hasn’t been enough to help the Los Angeles Angels withstand Shohei Ohtani’s departure.
If it feels as if Trout and the Angels can’t catch a break, this is certainly another example. The three-time MVP finally looks like his old self again, but with Ohtani gone, Los Angeles is eight games under .500.
The 32-year-old Trout has reached the postseason only once, a decade ago. From 2012-19, he won those three MVPs and finished second in the voting four times. He is already in the top 50 all-time in Baseball Reference’s version of wins above replacement.
Trout is firmly on a Hall of Fame path and he has a chance to surpass 400 homers this year, but what he accomplishes in his 30s will go a long way toward determining exactly where he ends up historically. While he has already surpassed luminaries like Joe DiMaggio and Ken Griffey Jr. in career WAR, injuries have robbed Trout of some of his prime. He hasn’t played more than 140 games since 2016, and he appeared in only 237 over three seasons from 2021-23 — part of the reason the Angels weren’t much of a threat even with Ohtani and Trout both on the team.
