Trout: "I'm Committed to the Angels"
Trout expressed his excitement about the new contract in a statement released by the team. "I'm committed to the Angels and to the city of Los Angeles," Trout said. "I'm so grateful to the Angels for giving me this opportunity, and I'm excited about what the future holds."
