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.

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.

His power and availability are good signs, but with Ohtani now playing for the Dodgers — and off to a great start with a bat — even a healthy Trout might not be enough to keep the Angels relevant.Last year at this time, Oakland was baseball’s laughingstock, but although there’s still plenty of turmoil surrounding the Athletics’ planned moves to Sacramento and Las Vegas, their on-field performance hasn’t been too bad.
