Which A-rod deal are you talking about? His 2001 deal seems like a pretty good one even with hindsight being what it is. He signed for 10 years and then opted out after 2007. In that time he:

Won 3 MVPs
Won 5 silver sluggers
Made 7 All Star teams

It's good that the Angels play in the L.A. area, because the only people who will be able to afford to go to a game (let alone buy their kid a frickin' hot dog) after the ticket prices skyrocket are all the Hollywood idiots who have been in the news lately.

Imagine what Roger Maris would get if he were coming off his 61 HR season.

Or what the Babe and Tyrus and the Iron Horse would get if each was in his prime today!

Is this a suggestion that Betts and Judge are better than Trout?

WS titles are about teams, not individual talent. Do you think Trout would not win in Boston or NY?

Rafael Santana has more World Series rings than Ted Williams, Tony Gwynn, Ernie Banks, Ken Griffey Jr and Rod Carew combined.

Default We are happy with Betts!
Red Sox fans are very happy with Mookie Betts.

No doubt Mike Trout is a fine ballplayer, but most Red Sox fans would not trade Mookie Betts for any other MLB player. Period. End of story.

I'm just happy Trout resigned with the Angels. Now I don't have to listen to the East Coast media obsess for two years about how he is going to sign with the Phillies or the Yankees.

The Pirates probably would have said the same thing about McCutchen in 2013. Five years later he was traded for Kyle Crick and bonus money.

Saw today that Betts will undoubtedly become a free agent. Still think the red Sox would have no interest in trading him next year?

And if that isn't enough for him he can always endorse a few products.

His salary also kept the Rangers from being anything but a last place team.

And he made a perennial winner into a perennial contender.

He did have one really wonderful interference call though, which changed a lot of things.
