mike trout $430 million,over 12 years

There is no player making more than any team can afford to pay them.

Billionaire owners paying players hundreds of millions.

The Angels probably got a "deal" on Trout compared to what he might have gotten as a free agent.

I'll bet Pujols told him "if I had it to do over, I would have stayed in St Louis"

Mariano made $132k per inning pitched over his career.

Good thing that baseball players play the only major team sport that doesn't have a salary cap of any form.

Is he worth it? He's worth every penny he can get, at least to the guy paying him.

Each and every one of us gets paid an amount that some others would say is too much compared to what we actually do.

I get paid to got to rock concerts, good for me for figuring out how to make a living out of it. Bummer for the school teachers who make less than me.

All Hail Mike Trout, at least until the next guy signs for more.
