im going to post a ridiculous trade idea but i'm doing it just to imagine if this player was on a different team

angels gets:
sp jose de leon (#3)
rp jacob rhame (#23)
rp chris anderson (#9)
c austin barnes (#12)
if cody bellinger (#10)
if corey seager (#1)
of yasiel puig

dodgers gets:
sp matt shoemaker
if roberto baldoquin (#4)
of mike trout

the angels get a lot of major league ready talent and giving up trout is minimal but the idea of trading him while he's the number 1 in baseball and he stays in los angeles and while the angels get de leon who would replace shoemaker, rhame who can be useful out of the bullpen in 2016, anderson can be a starter or a future closer, barnes can be inserted into the catching platoon with soto, bellinger is insurance for if pujols gets hurt or he can even be in the outfield, seager would ultimately be moved to 3B where he can play his best at and with simmons, that would make sense and puig would replace trout in the outfield

the dodgers get another starter which would help ease (in a little amount) the pain of losing grienke and iwakuma, baldoquin could replace seager at ss and then there's trout, he along with pederson and the combo of ethier/ crawford would be awesome

the main reason for this post is imagine if trout and kershaw was on the same team (the best hitter and the best pitcher) and with kershaw signed for a few more years, extend trout now so when the current contract is up, you won't have to pay him nearly $40 million a year. pay him now at about $30-$35 million a year and save a lot of money.

If the Dodgers gave the Angels every player under the age 26 in their system and $5 billion, it still wouldn't be enough for Moreno to give up Mike Trout.

Waste of time. Trout will never get traded,

This is the list of players that will never be traded:

Trout
Kershaw
Correa
Seager (Corey)
Stanton
Storman
Brantley
Hosmer
Buxton
Keuchel
King Felix
Machado
Harvey
Wright
Bryant
Rizzo
Arrieta
Russell
Harper
Mccution
Cole
Molina
Rosenthal
Goldschmit
Arenado
Janson
Madbum
Posey

Some might leave in free agency but most won't. And trout isn't one of them he is an Angle for LIFE.

I think the only way Trout gets moved to LAD is for Kershaw Seager Peterson Uris and others.

Yea sayin that none of these players are getting moved sounds true but nobody knows I mean Donaldson got moved and he won the MVP so anything can happen.

Everyone can get traded. period. no one is ever untouchable. it just may take an absurd offer to get that guy.

CS16: Stanton will get traded at some point.

That list of untradeable guys is laughable.

Trevor Rosenthal?
Kenley Jansen?
Marcus Stroman?

Really?

in 13 years Stanton will be traded.

11.) 30 Dec 2015

not 13
12
because w/ 1 year left on contract he is sold to Houston.

Was there really a point in the list?

or he gets traded after a season when they realize they screwed themselves with this massive contract.

Think what the Marlins wanted for Fernandez, Seager, Pederson, Urias, and 2 other top prospects. That's Fernandez, Trout is on a whole other level, take that and somehow add to that even more, there is no team out there who has the ability to trade for him or even want to destroy there future that much.

I think that untradeable list (at least for the near future) is only three deep. Trout, Correa, and Bryant.

stanton has never played more than 150 games. ever. in six years in the bigs, he has played more than 123 games only twice. the guy seems like he is hurt way too often. he has power, but he's managed more than 90 rbis only once. he will be traded at some point.

Craig Luke, you're naive if you think that Correa would be in a list of a "3-deep" no trade list.

IF it were three deep, you're talking Trout, Harper, and Kershaw. Easy.

It's much deeper than that, but jeez, what a homer thing to say by pretty much assuming Correa is a top 3 asset in baseball.
