Mike Trout wants to return to center field
The player, who does not like being a designated hitter, also said he was not sure about going to the World Baseball Classic. But seeing him in center field is a recipe for injury…
Mike Trout said he wants to play center field again. He said he already had a good conversation with manager Kurt Suzuki about it. Trout also wanted to play in the World Baseball Classic but had an insurance issue.
