Aaron hit homers for the Brewers and Mays had more homers as a Giant than Ott did.

It is Trout. He passed Salmon 79 HRs ago which, sadly, was also sometime in the abbreviated 2020 season.
Trout and Machado are the only active players to currently hold their franchise's HR record.
I would think Pete has the next best shot, but he's going to need a contract first and that's up in the air at this point.

That's it for the one team guys. The rest are simply franchise HR leaders.
I filled in Mays both since that was obvious and had been mentioned. And for the remaining slots I've filled in the totals.
Still out there are the two Chicago teams, the Mariners, Rangers, Dodgers, Jays, A's, and Indians/Guardians,

Yup. 28 more than Hodges
Duke then tacked on 14 as a Met and four more as a SF Giant in 1964. I didn't realize that Snider played after the Mets.

Yeah, that was fun.
MLB.com posted a list of the 30 leaders after Machado's SD record breaking HR a couple days ago so I cribbed the list and ran with it.
