Tuesday night’s spring training contest between the Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers marked the first time that former All-Star teammates Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani faced off as major league opponents.
Trout and Ohtani embraced in the outfield during pregame warmups on Tuesday night at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz., and chatted about an eventful offseason for the former Angels star, which included a 10-year, $700 million contract, as well as a marriage.
“He was over here for six years, and he did a lot for us,” Trout said Tuesday night, per MLB.com. “It was definitely different seeing him over there. I just congratulated him on everything and all the stuff that happened over the winter; the marriage, the contract, just all the things that happened.”
