Angels Notes: Big Mike Trout Prediction, Halos ‘Best Bet’ to Fire GM and Manager, More

In this story:
The Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros, 4-3, on Friday evening thanks to a pair of Mike Trout home runs. The Angels improved to 72-88 on the year.
In other news, Halos hitting coach Johnny Washington made a major prediction regarding Trout. Although many were surprised by Trout's 2025 numbers, Washington thinks 2026 will show tons of improvement.
Additionally, the Angels have been named a 'best bet' to replace their general manager as well as their manager this offseason. Ron Washington has been out since June after undergoing a quadruple-bypass heart procedure, and with a team option going into 2026, a notable MLB insider spoke on if he believes the option will be picked up or not.
