they scream the loudest <| sep |> They had no major FA signings between 2014 and 2016 . I ' m not sure what you mean . They have Weaver and Wilson off the books this year . Hamilton ' s contract comes off next year . no starting pitchingRichards , Skaggs , Heaney , and Tropeano all missed significant time last year Heaney and Tropeano will miss next season as well , but ostensibly be back in 2018 . That is a pretty promising , young rotation . Trading Trout right now in a the sky is falling move would make no sense . Saying they don ' t appear to have an end of sucking in sight sounds oddly familiar to what people said after a disappointing , injuryriddled 2013 season . Then they won 98 games the next season . Like I said , with Trout in the mix , you don ' t need a whole lot else to go right to be competitive . Moving him would most likely be disastrous for the Angels . I think a lot of people just want to see him traded , so they come up with halfassed reasoning as to why it makes sense for the team .
