People like to throw around a lot of fantasy trade ideas involving Mike Trout. Some are just for fun. Some are for thought exercises. Some are just plain moronic. So today, an intrepid reporter finally asked Angels GM Jerry Dipoto who he would trade Mike Trout. Holy cow, he actually answered:
A potential Mike Trout trade was brought up — jokingly — in Jerry Dipoto's meeting with reporters today. The return? God.

I’ve checked the scouting report on God and he’s pretty good, but he’s also a lot older than Trout and has no MLB experience; so while I think there is a pretty even talent swap, it is always smarter to go with the younger and more proven guy. Plus, I hear God has makeup issues. Former teammates have said he can be quite wrathful, a real fire and brimstone temper. There are even unsubstantiated reports that God doesn’t even really exist. That’s a chance the Angels just can’t take even if the whole God playing for a team called the Angels is a marketing department’s dream come true.
