BUT THE PHILLIES R SIGNING HIM!!

 

Well shit.

 

So there's going to be barely anything about free agency to look forward to til there's a new CBA I guess

Too bad that Trout will end his career with zero wins in 3 playoff games

 

He’s still severely underpaid

 

I'm honestly surprised he accepted it.

 

Def feels like the Angels are getting the better side of the deal.

 

Glad he got paid, good stuff.

Career will probably be wasted away there but at least he's got the bag

 

Wouldn't Trout get more on the open market ?

 

He got 100m more than the biggest contract in history. I’d say it’s a pretty fair deal.

 

You would think, but he's two years away. Also with this current market, who knows. And while we all agree he will probably be the best player still then, there's some risk involved. So, why not leverage it as soon as you can?

 

1 million more than Zach Greinke a year! How much more money than Zach Greinke could a man who's already passed Yogi Berra, Vladimir Guerrero, Mike Piazza and Ichiro in WAR deserve! Before he's 30!

God this is depressing

 

This is why I'm shocked he took it.

 

This is also true, and honestly if he still wants to be traded a team could easily take on that contract.

 

What a take.

 

Don't listen to him, he has shitty takes. I loathe him.

 

Lol Harper has less than half his career WAR, this contract means the Philles should have paid Harper like 180 mil haha that is indeed a take

 

Man the city of Philadelphia definitely would have burned down if the Phillies didn't sign Harper than this news about Trout lol.

 

Are people really saying Trout should have waited until he hit the open market? Take the money while it's there.

 

Seriously. Look at 39-year-old Pujols making $87 million over the next three years.
