Mike Trout Lockout Art
The MLB lockout has finally concluded. While it’s great that an agreement was reached with substantial changes to the system the owners and players operate under, the journey to get to an agreement was excruciating.

The 2020 season offered a lot of promise for the Angels to reach the finally reach the playoffs for the first time since 2014.
