No. MLB tests so much these days, and between the arod and Tatis Jr suspensions, players realize the penalties for getting caught are no joke.

Not saying the Padres can't touch up Ohtani but ain't that "lineup" been a little soft this year?

They should have traded Ohtani before the season. Or last year at the deadline.
Ohtani was always going to test free agency.
And with how great he’s playing this year, his market value has only gone up and his trade value has only gone down because no one is going to give up top prospects for him now.
But you’re right about trading Trout. When LA loses Ohtani the Angels will go back to being a bad team.
Where does Trout go? No idea.
Assuming Ohtani goes to the Dodgers, maybe the Yankees makes sense for Trout. But if the Yankees did that, they’d probably have to find somewhere to ship Stanton, and I don’t know that the Angels would swap Trout’s contract for Stanton’s contract. NYY would definitely have to include Jasson Dominguez in any deal too, which presents its own challenges.
Yankees already have a washed up injury prone outfielder in Stanton, why would they take on Trout at this stage of his career?
Mike Trout is still one of the best 5-6 hitters in baseball.
He’s not anywhere close to washed up just because he’s no longer head and shoulders above the rest of the league.
Judge
Ohtani
Acuna
Freeman
Mookie
Seager
Diaz
Olson
Alvarez
Ramirez
I don't know if you can even say he's top 10 this year
He's still way way better than Stanton but the Yankees don't need more outfielders unless they can someone to take Giancarlos contract
There are players currently having a better first half than Trout.
But I don’t think they’re all better than Trout.
The guys I’d have over him are Judge, Ohtani, Acuna and probably Tatis.
After that, everyone else is debatable.

Someone will absolutely give up TOP prospects for Ohtani right now, even as a rental. If you trade for him as a contender, you are getting both a top of the line rotation arm and one of the best hitters in baseball. You plug two holes in your team with one trade.
Even as a rental, the Angels would get a haul.
