Mike Trout has no desire to be traded and says that he has encouraged Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno to sign at least one of the remaining high-profile free agents.

Trout, whose $426.5 million contract with the Angels runs through 2030, has a full no-trade clause.

"The easy way out is just ask for a trade," he said. "There might be a time. Maybe. I really haven't thought about this. But when I signed that contract, I'm loyal. I want to win a championship here. The overall picture of winning a championship or getting to the playoffs here is bigger satisfaction [than] bailing out and just taking an easy way out. So, I think that's been my mindset. Maybe down the road if something's changed, but that's been my mindset ever since the trade speculations came up."

The Angels have made the playoffs just once in Trout's 13 years with the club.
