Phillies get update on what it might cost to trade for Mike Trout

The Phillies fanbase would surely love for their team to acquire Trout, and this price tag speculated by Law wouldn't be that outlandish.

With Aidan Miller dealing with some back issues, he might not be the centerpiece of a trade with some long-term concerns about his availability.

Instead, moving on from either Justin Crawford or Dante Nori would make sense. Add in a few prospects, possibly even Gage Wood, who's impressed since coming to the Phillies organization last year, and there could be a trade that comes together.

Of course, it wouldn't be so simple. The Angels would need to get Trout to say yes to any trade, and with the future Hall of Famer never making it clear he wants out, he might say no to any trade.

Even though the Phillies are his local team, and he is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, the Phillies might not be able to land him even if their proposed package would be enough.

A deal involving Andrew Painter or Aidan Miller might not come together, but Law believes there's still a path for the Phillies to land Trout without including either of those players.

It won't come cheap, either with their prospects or financially. But in win-now mode, adding someone like Trout, the right-handed hitter this team so desperately needs, would make a ton of sense.
