Angels to offer Mike Trout a Lifetime Contract...?

While I'd love to see him come east, it would be quite the thing to see him play his entire career in Anaheim.

anusinha · 09-14-2018, 12:52 PM

As an Angels fan I hope he signs..... but we will see I guess.

TarjetasBéisbol · 09-14-2018, 12:55 PM

I think if given a chance, he would move east. My bet would be on the Phillies.

His heart would want to go to Philly

But if he wants to win...ever...he'll go elsewhere

I think the Phillies are on the verge of a winning era once again.

majestik101 · 09-14-2018, 01:19 PM

I am for this. Scoscias gonna be gone soon. Maybe they bring a new manager and get that team back to the WS.

The talk was either one or the other all year. Both would be nifty. But I’d rather have just Trout than just Harper + Machado.

jeff24k · 09-14-2018, 12:56 PM

So I'm thinking 10 years, $400m?

I was wondering the same,

12 yrs 500 million was the first thing that popped into my head. Could be way off though

15 yr, $700M... the last 3 being mutual option years... contract somewhat front loaded (ie. big annual payouts coming 2022 and later, when AP5 off the books), with those option years probably being in the $25M range annually

If he ever wants to win, he’ll sign elsewhere

Are you sure it's not the other way around? .083/.267/.333 in the post season. Career .268 BA .426 SLG 2 out RISP, .246 BA .437 SLG career late & close.

But what's his batting average on Tuesday day games in August when the temperature is over 89 degrees and the starting pitcher in over 30 years old?

Are you really quoting a three game post season slash line?

It's pretty much all anyone ever has. God forbid Mickey Mantle spent his career on the Washington Senators. Probably would have looked something like KGJr or Mike Trout.

LOL, seriously...

You are grumpy and opinionated, but you are better than that. There are a list of reasons why the Angels aren't winning, and Trout does not appear anywhere on it. Just a pathetic attempt to twist a 3-game series into a narrative.

That outfield would be quite a sight.

He will never win there. They have too many holes and no pitching.
