Angels Notes: Ex-Halo Retires, Mike Trout Update, Blockbuster Trade Idea

In this story:
The Los Angeles Angels have won eight games in a row thanks to a 7-4 victory over the Miami Marlins. They are back to .500 at 25-25, and have hit multiple home runs in seven consecutive games.
In other news, a former top prospect for the Halos suddenly announced his retirement. He was very briefly wearing an Angels jersey in The Show as he was then a part of a deal to bring an ace to Anaheim.
Additionally, Mike Trout has provided a major injury update. The three-time MVP has been on the injured list since May 1 and is 'excited' to be where he is in his recovery.
Finally, a big money Halos All-Star has been linked to a National League team according to an insider. Depending on what the return is, this offer might have to be worth listening to, but the Halos may not be so quick to change anything amid this glorious winning streak.
