The LA Angels may have had little postseason success, but they certainly have the stars. Despite seemingly having all the players to contend for the pennant, the team has seen an eight-year playoff drought that extends into the 2023 season. And with the team underperforming, its stars are taking the hint.

Despite boasting a vaunted 1-2 punch of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani as a part of their roster, the Anaheim franchise still needs to live up to fan expectations. With their last postseason appearance coming before the two were even a part of the franchise, fate has different plans for the LA Angels. With questions emerging around two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani’s future with the franchise, could another star be set to drop out?

Is LA Angels Star picking up Alternate Interests?

Mike Trout has had a challenging season with the LA Angels. The 11x All-Star was put on the IL by the Angels in early July for an injury in his left wrist with a recovery schedule of four to eight weeks. And the star slugger returned to the roster in late August, increasing the fan’s hopes. However, this was short-lived, as the star would be put on the ten day IL again after failing to make too much of an impact in the game. But it is Trout’s doings off the field that is generating the buzz.

Using his time off the diamond, Trout has concentrated on building out his newest venture in close collaboration with Golf superstar Tiger Woods. Trout recently announced that he would build a golf course, christen ‘The Trout National,’ and even took to Instagram to promote construction progress.

While the star is excited about his newest venture, the fans were left wondering if this meant the star had seen a shift in priorities.

Could Mike Trout be leaving the MLB?

Trout, now 32, has spent many of the past few seasons on the IL. Something no athlete has ever named the best part of their profession. While the Halos continue to struggle to mark a bid for the post-season, the Angles’ star has been the consummate performer for the franchise.

With the lack of post-season success despite his best efforts, the MLB star could see his ambitions wind down and retire without a pennant. While to the outside it may seem like a star giving up, fans of the MLB surely know otherwise. The star slugger has done his best to pull the franchise to the post-season, even if the record may not reflect it.

But in his life after the MLB, Trout’s newest interest is turning heads. The 3x AL MVP is known for his swing, and what better place to put that to use than a golf course?
