supermike80 1,317 Posted May 1 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. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/angels-star-mike-trout-needs-surgery-repair-torn-meniscus-gm-says Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real timschochet 3,102 Posted May 1 Trout is not done; he’s expected to come back later in the season. Guess this makes you a liar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegeneral 1,491 Posted May 1 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 822 Posted May 1 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me, it's not the yearly salary so much as it is the idiotic length of these deals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,307 Posted May 1 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
