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

No, Trout doesn't seem like a diva to me. Back in the day, KGJ was said to be all smiles and what was good about baseball but when he was with the Reds and they wanted him to move to Right Field because he sucked as a Center Fielder, he at first refused and when he finally did move he had an attitude about it. Acted like a total diva.

Diva
Trout is not a DIVA in my experience. He has called ushers away to sign for my son. He has smiled, waved and been super nice to me, my wife and my son and daughter the 3-4 times that we have been close enough to interact with him. Pujols on the other hand has been all DIVA.

Good for him but 249k per game or around 55k per AB sounds a bit excessive don't you think. 55k per at bat holy sh77.

$$$
The Angels TV contract is $3 billion over 20 years. If I were them I wouldn't think twice about $430M for Trout.

On the one hand of course there's something ridiculous about a person being rewarded with over $1000 per minute just to play a game that he happens to be very good at. On the other hand, we're talking about the best player since Bonds at least. Arguably since Ruth. As a percentage of other current star players' salaries it's probably less of an outlier than his baseball skills are.

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. Patrick

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.

Glad to see Trout signed before becoming a FA, glad that he signed with the Angels, and glad that his contract smashed Harper's and Machado's numbers.
Enjoy watching him play the game.

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?

I don't think any human being should be paid this obscene amount of money, I don't care what they do for a living. HOWEVER, if you go by the formula that only the best, #1 player should be awarded this type of contract...then the Angels are right on. Trout is the greatest player in the game today, and probably of this generation.

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. Doug "if you pay me enough, I will work for you" Goodman Last edited by doug.goodman; 03-21-2019 at 06:18 PM.
