Mike Trout..done

[supermike80 1,804]

I wonder if the MLB will ever learn these massive contracts are dumb?

Lived with Cabrera for his last 7 years of a dumb contract.  I get it.

Trout is not done; he’s expected to come back later in the season. 
 

Guess this makes you a liar?

Trout will have only played 100 games in a season once in past 5 years. He’s way on the other side of the hill.

Wasted career in Anaheim for a generational talent.

It's ashame, without the injuries he would of been top 5 all time, easy.

He’ll end his career as a Philthy. Yeah wasted out in CA.

Should have been moved out of the outfield a long time ago.

Lifelong Angels fan. Unfortunately we have the worst owner in all of sports.

The Rendon contract was absurd from the get go but at least they are trying. Trout signing was fine.

Look north to the A’s for worst owner

In 2022, my Atlanta Braves lost out trying to keep Freddie Freeman who was 32 yo at the time. They offered him a ton of money, but not the 6-year deal the Dodgers gave him. Before that contract is over, he'll be 39 yo and no way still worth $27 mill / year. The Dodgers don't care. Monopoly money. 

A salary cap in MLB would be nice, if not to level the playing field, at least for teams to hold on to fan-favorite players.

For me, it's not the yearly salary so much as it is the idiotic length of these deals.

A complete shame with Trout...  If he could have stayed healthy the past four seasons, the guy would have incredible numbers...  Still a first ballot HoF...
