Mike Trout is headed into yet another early offseason with the Los Angeles Angels after dealing with injuries yet again.
"It's going to be interesting what's going to happen over the winter," Trout said. "I've answered these questions the last few years so it's tough for me. In this game, as a personal standpoint, you're going to fail a lot at the plate, make mistakes. The season has been frustrating, it's not where we want to be. But I've been talking to the guys trying to change this thing. We're doing everything we can."
Trout, 31, entered Tuesday's game at the Oakland Athletics with his third-most homers in a season at 39 despite playing just his 118th game. He was sidelined July 15 to Aug. 19 with left rib cage inflammation.
He signed a record 12-year, $426.5 million deal in March 2019 and believed the Angels were doing everything to transform back into a regular winner.
Trout said he can't point to one thing that went wrong this season but "me missing 41 games I think it was, I think that has something to do with it," he said. "I want to be out there for the team, obviously, it's tough for me. I can't harp on one thing. We've pitched well, but we didn't hit."
