The 34-year-old has not only moved to right field, but he\u2019s also played exclusively at designated hitter over the last few games as well. So far in 2025, Trout has played in the second-highest number of games (108) since his injury issues started in 2021. It\u2019s been a mostly healthy season for Trout, even though it\u2019s clear he\u2019s in decline.

Of course, that has felt like the story every offseason since the big ticket signing of third baseman Anthony Rendon a few years ago. Now, the focus has been on drafting talented, experienced players out of college baseball and getting them to the majors as quickly as possible. Examples of this include first baseman Nolan Schanuel, shortstop Zach Neto and last year\u2019s first round pick, second baseman Christian Moore.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>While this is a different tactic, the need for more talent via trades and free agency is clear. This roster is not built to contend for a World Series title in its current state.
