Trout is from New Jersey, grew up as a diehard Phillies fan. still attends Eagles games, etc. Maybe he will stay with the Angels or go somewhere else, buy you seem way off with your chances of him signing with the team he grew up rooting for.

If where you were born was the only factor as to where you play, sure I might be off base. But what about Trout's quiet tenure in MLB leads you to believe he seeks the limelight of the Philadelphia media?

He has talked about playing for the Phillies at some point in his career because it was the local team, the team he grew up rooting for. Maybe he will stay with the Angels, but Trout still follows the Philly sport teams because he grew up rooting for them. The discussion of Trout and the Phillies are not just in a vacuum; he has discussed it in the past.

I realize everyone is different, but do you think Lebron James would have ever went back to Cleveland to win a championship if he was not a local kid?

Bryce Harper has said that he discussed Philadelphia extensively with Trout. Do you think Harper would have signed there if Trout dumped on playing there?

If Trout is smart he will stay right where he is. When you are in a good situation the worst thing you can do is leave for something better.
I’ll give you 2 names as examples - Albert Pujols and Griffey Jr. If Trout plans on leaving sell everything you got.
