Trout isn’t ready to start celebrating yet, as this appears to be the beginning of an offseason of changes for his team.

Trout has only been to the playoffs once despite being the best player in baseball over the last eight years. He still signed a monster $430 million extension with the team and is committed to them long term. He’s put a lot of trust into the front office regarding their ability to build a winner, and he’s looking for results. The Rendon addition will help them build a contender, but they still have a lot of work to do to improve their weak pitching.
