A 13 year contract?
Now the numbers on that WOULD have been fun.
Anyone care to start the hypothetical bidding?…

400M?

Considering he’s arguably the best all around player? SCARY. What’s he going to command at 28? That is……if the Angels even allow that time to approach?

Here’s a thought: by the time Trout is 28, teams will have had 6 more years to have seen the effects of high-dollar/long-term contracts that span the wrong side of 30. I wouldn’t be surprised to see another shorter-term (e.g. 6-year) deal for Trout after this one, albeit a contract still in the $45-50MM AAV range — assuming his production continues at the current level.

Edit: Misread, my bad. Ignore me.

how is that a compromise, it seems like exactly what the Angels would want. Trout’s part of the compromise should be that he actually signs a contract

I’m sure the Angels wanted 8-10. I might have gone with the 13 year deal honestly. He’d be 35 at the end of the deal.
