Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels is well-known for being one of the best baseball players of his generation. Off the field, he is also renowned as one of the largest and most famous fans of the Philadelphia Eagles, who have been around the top of the NFL standings for the last seven years.
In a primetime Sunday night football showdown, the 5-1 Eagles faced the powerful Miami Dolphins at home. They lost their first game of the season last week and needed to avoid losing two in a row.
They also introduced their Kelly Green throwback jerseys, a widely awaited jersey debut that harkens back to the Eagles’ early glory days. So, of course, Trout, who was home for the offseason, found himself at Lincoln Financial Field for the big game, according to Fox Sports NFL.
Trout is frequently seen in South Philadelphia this time of year, cheering for the Eagles. Trout had to express his support, especially with the club struggling to stay atop the standings, which they achieved with an excellent 31-17 win over the Dolphins.
The Eagles defeated the Dolphins thanks to a dominating defensive performance and strong play from Jalen Hurts, Dallas Goedert, and A.J. Brown. The Eagles now lead the NFC East, pending the outcome of the San Francisco 49ers’ Monday night football game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Trout will probably be seen at more Eagles games this season, especially as the playoffs approach. After losing the season finale to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Eagles are expected to be a Super Bowl contender this year.
The Angels might recruit someone better than Perry Minasian.
In recent seasons, the Los Angeles Angels have had star power with Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and Anthony Rendon on their Major League roster. However, their lack of victories has overshadowed their achievements, casting doubt on the front office’s competence.
Ownership takes some of the blame, with Angels owner Arte Moreno seemingly hesitant to invest the financial resources necessary to establish a prospect pool that can compete with other clubs. Despite the departure of a few front-office personnel, including assistant general manager Alex Tamin, current general manager Perry Minasian remains in position.
Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic discussed the Angels’ front office framework in an appearance on Foul Territory as the organization prepares to embark on a critical offseason.
“Perry Minasian might have someone put above him in Anaheim.”
