I would consider this a win for the angels if trout produces the same output over the next ten years on average as he has since coming in the league. yea trout will be very wealthy but its possible he could have been even more. but if hes happy, that’s all that matters. it kind of hurts baseball to a certain extent. having your big stars out there in the news during contract time can get your sport much needed play. the sad thing is that if the angels cant ever get it together, trout may never get to be the super star that his numbers show him to be. now personally ive watched him play some games and I haven’t really seen that greatness either but I know his numbers dictate otherwise though I don’t get into all the advanced metrics people use nowadays. but I don’t watch him every day so theres that. im glad hes getting a great contract.
