With the Angels slumping lately and star outfielder Mike Trout headed to the injured list yet again, Stephen A. Smith believes it’s time for Los Angeles to trade two-way megastar Shohei Ohtani.
Smith, speaking on First Take Wednesday, a day after Trout hit the IL and Ohtani left the game with a blister, said that if Babe Ruth could be traded, the player who regularly receives comparisons to Ruth can, too.
“What have [the Angels] won? They haven’t even had a winning record with Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout together,” Smith said. “You can’t let him walk for nothing.”
