Former Angels GM Reveals Mike Trout's Role in Comforting Shohei Ohtani After MLB Move

Billy Eppler revealed the biggest reason Ohtani chose the Angels was that Trout was his favorite player. During Ohtani's presentation, Eppler asked Trout if he could "jump on a FaceTime for 10 minutes just to talk to Shohei". The 11-time All-Star was thrilled at the idea, calling Ohtani a stud, and helped establish a connection between Ohtani and the Angels.
