Mike Trout has been a company man throughout his 16 seasons as a member of the Los Angeles Angels.
But he also admits that it's time for the franchise to get a "fresh start."
With sports mogul Stan Kroenke striking a deal to purchase the team from longtime owner Arte Moreno for $4 billion, that's exactly what the Angels will get.
Kroenke has a stellar track record with his ownership of NFL, NBA, NHL and English soccer franchises − one Angels fans hope will extend to a team that hasn't won an MLB playoff game since 2009.
"It's obviously been frustrating the last, I don't know how many years it's been," Trout told reporters before Tuesday's game. "But just to hear the news like this, I'm super excited to have this change."
