“But I really don’t want to talk about it, to be honest.”A spokesman for the Angels organization declined to comment. Despite finger and wrist injuries and the death of his 24-year-old brother-in-law, Aaron Cox, Trout is having another MVP-type season. Trout leads the Majors in four of those categories – walks, on-base percentage, OPS and OPS+. Angels manager Mike Scioscia said before the game that Trout won the honor of team MVP awarded by his fellow players. The two played for the same New Jersey high school and were both drafted by the Angels, Trout in 2009 and Cox in 2015.
