Mike Trout and his teammates are not happy with how the Los Angeles Angels have been managing things recently. Trout loves playing for his team, he never accepted to be traded even though he had the chance, but even the All-Star slugger spoke out on the team’s schedule.
The Angels are scheduled to play the Pittsburgh Pirates in their final game at Angel Stadium. While they finish the series, the team must immediately travel to Minnesota to face off against the Twins. The entire squad must travel overnight from Anaheim to Minneapolis to open a three-game series against the Twins.
Sadly, the team will not have much time for rest before the series as they will play the Twins at 6:29 PM PDT. Mike Trout and his teammates will reach Minnesota in the early parts of the morning and will play around 4:40 PM PDT. The Angels management failed to organize the timing and players expressed their frustration.
“It’s not ideal for sure, I don’t know when we’re supposed to land, but it’s going to be early. And we’ve got to play that night. And the worst part about it is, the next day is a day game,” Mike Trout said via The Athletic.
“I don’t think it should be allowed, to be honest… Because it’s kind of crazy,” Taylor Ward chimed in.
“I don’t think it’s healthy for anybody… It’s definitely not fair,” added Kenley Jansen.
