He still forced a trade to the Red Sox for lesser money and it was rejected by MLBPA because it sets a bad precedence, and when that failed he executed the opt-out to the Yankees. He had something to prove which is a quality you find in some of the most extreme winners of all sports. Trout is a nice guy and very stable, which is great in every life circumstance other than trying to be the greatest of all time.
