Each year, B.A.T. (Baseball Assistance Team) presents The Bobby Murcer Award to the teams in each league whose players raise the most money to assist those in the baseball family who are in need.
The 2026 winners are the Los Angeles Angels (AL) and the New York Mets (NL).
Per Mike Trout on AM830 w/ @RogerLodge7:
- He is a full-go for Spring Training, took about 2 months off after the season. Feels unbelievable & is ready to get things going.
- Uses a recovery machine daily, has one in Anaheim he uses prior to the game.
- Started picking up a bat about a month ago. Cut back on the physical/rotational stuff he did in the offseason as he felt he used to do too much in the offseason that he felt would sometimes lead to the weird freak injuries.
- Has had conversations w/ Kurt a couple nights ago, he loves playing CF, considers that his main position. His work this offseason is trying to play the OF, whether thats RF, LF or CF.
- Hasn't really sat down & put together a plan yet, they have an idea of one, he knows he will do so w/ Perry & Zuk once they get to Spring.
- Feels that when he's at his best he's playing defense and offense, not just DH'ing. Not a huge fan of DH only. DH'ing & forcing Soler to be in the OF was in the back of his mind throughout the season.
- The goal is for him to play the OF. Says Soler also wants to be out there (in the lineup).
- Trout has not made a decision for his walk-up song quite yet.
- Have not talked about what the HR celebration headgear will be, its usually a conversation during Spring Training.
- Final Score of the Super Bowl: 28-17, Seattle wins
