“I have enjoyed my time as an Angel and look forward to representing the organization, my teammates and our fans for years to come," Trout's statement said. "I want to thank [owner] Arte and Carole Moreno for their efforts. Their leadership and commitment to winning played a key role in my decision. Thanks also to my teammates, coaches, [president] John Carpino, [general manager] Billy Eppler and his baseball operations staff, the entire front office and Angels fans for all their support. It has made a tremendous difference not only for me, but for my family as well!”
