Trout confirms he will play in 2020. MORE:
has decided to play for the Los Angeles Angels in the shortened baseball season, although his year will be paused in a few weeks by the birth of his first child.
Trout expressed uncertainty earlier this month about the safety of this unique major league season, saying he wouldn’t risk his growing family’s health to participate. After three weeks of experience with the regulations put in place by the Angels and Major League Baseball, Trout is cautiously confident in baseball’s ability to hold a season safely.Trout will be in the lineup when the Angels open the season Friday in Oakland, but he won’t be joined by.
“Guys have been respectful of others,” Trout said. “Everybody is taking responsibility to wear a mask and do social distancing and just be safe, and we’re seeing that. The results are there. Just got to pick it up and stay on it when we’re on the road. ... We’re going to different cities where it’s really bad right now. It’s going to be tough. As of right now, everything is great.”
Trout won’t be in the Halos’ lineup every day, however: He doesn’t know how much time he’ll spend away from the team after his wife, Jessica, gives birth to their son, likely in August.
