Earlier this week, Mike Felger of 98.5 The Sports Hub made a claim that could leave Boston Red Sox fans with mixed feelings. On Tuesday\u2019s runnings of the Felger and Mazz radio show, with Tony Massarotti, he stated that a \u201cloose\u201d source informed him that the Red Sox were interested in Los Angeles Angels outfielder <\/span>Mike Trout<\/a><\/span>. Now, Felger did have a disclaimer, saying that his source is not exactly a verifiable baseball source, and expressed the key of a loose source here. Felger said, \u201cBut if something interesting comes across my phone, I\u2019m going to present it, and don\u2019t blame me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n

With that type of response from a guy whose source may not be that involved, it\u2019s very important to take this rumor with a grain of salt. Is it possible it\u2019s true? Sure. But even MLB insider Jon Heyman ruled it <\/span>highly improbable that Trout gets traded<\/span><\/a> at all, let alone to Boston. However, a Mike Trout Red Sox trade would be an interesting move for a team that needs desperate help in several areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
