Mike Trout Was Pulled After 2 Innings Sunday and Twitter Goofed About Trade Before Diagnosis
By Jerry Trotta

A peculiar development has recently developed in Los Angeles that will make every Angels fan quiver with jitters.
Mike Trout was pulled from Saturday's clash against the Mariners after just two innings of play. And it took far too long for the team to update everyone on the reason why.

While we presumed that the superstar outfielder suffered a minor knock and wasn't removed for personal reasons, Twitter instead decided that of course Trout, who'd just signed a 50-year extension (estimate) was traded to their team.
Sources tell me Alex Reyes, Nolan Gorman, Dylan Carlson, and Daniel Ponce De Leon are involved in a trade that will send Mike Trout to St. Louis. https://t.co/R724QRD5q8

That could work.
Angels got Ken Giles for Mike Trout. Will be a lot of speculation, but it's too early to judge the trade. https://t.co/A5rNsrmMRd

That won't work.

Let the trade rumors commence...
There’s a .000001% chance that Mike Trout just got traded ?
Luckily, we can cut the nonsense trade requests off at the head.
MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger has just updated Trout's status and has confirmed that the two-time American League MVP was dealing with right calf tightness and is only expected to miss a few days.

And that sound you hear is Angels Nation and (every baseball fan in general really) breathing a sigh of relief. The game should have its best player on the field for every game.
Hopefully the eight-time All-Star suffers no setbacks and is able to dominate on the diamond after a few days rest.
