Former Los Angeles Angelsmanager Joe Maddon said that stars Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani don't have enough support around them.
"These guys can't do it alone, obviously," Maddon told the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin on Friday. "It's the non-sexy stuff that has to get better. It's not just bright, shiny objects - they have that."
The Angels fired Maddon in June amid a 12-game losing streak. The team has continued to struggle under interim manager Phil Nevin, posting a 25-38 record.
