“I can envision the outfield: Trout, Acuña, and Michael Harris," Bowden said. "It would be a perfect fit for them, and that would give Mike Trout a legitimate shot, even a better chance than Philadelphia, of winning a World Series, and he would fit perfectly with that team."

However, Trout’s contract is far from cheap, and injuries have consistently been a concern throughout his career. 680 The Fan host Matt Chernoff quickly shut down the idea, calling it “silliness.”

“The history is there, here is Mike Trout since 2020, 53 games one year, 36 games one year, 82 games, 29 games... Ya, don't get healthier as you get older. He's healthy today. Anybody want to take a wager if he's healthy in July or August? Because I'll take it with you. History says no. It's silliness,” Chernoff said.

The reality is that Trout has struggled to stay healthy, and acquiring him would likely require Atlanta to give up a significant amount of talent. While the idea of an outfield featuring Trout, Ronald Acuna Jr., and Michael Harris II is exciting on paper, there would still be major concerns about how often all three would actually be available together.

Bowden’s vision is certainly intriguing, but Chernoff’s concerns are grounded in reality. Atlanta is already clicking at a high level, and there may not be a need to make a risky blockbuster move that could disrupt the chemistry and success the team currently has on the field.
