Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani ¡ª baseball¡¯s would-be saviors ¡ª need rescuing themselves.

Their Los Angeles Angels are headed toward another dreadful finish, another missed postseason. They¡¯ve got an interim manager, a long-shot plan to build a contender one day and a 39-53 record.

Heading into the All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, Trout and Ohtani are stuck in Major League Baseball purgatory with an organization that somehow can¡¯t figure out how to feed off their prowess and win. Call it Dante¡¯s nine innings of baseball hell.
