Man, "Trout-to-Your Favorite Team" dream already dead.

Well deserved to the best athlete (per his sport) going today. Really hope the Angels actually turn out to be competitive, it's a damn shame this guy doesn't play in big games... Their farm system is looking quite a bit better.

They better front load the shit out of that contract. When he gets age 36+ Angels fan is gonna be hating it.

ESPN did a complete overhaul of their fantasy website.

It is a bit cumbersome compared to the old one. However, there are some improvements that I do like.

The app on your phone is very easy to use as well.

I was hoping Trout would cross the freeway to the Dodgers in free agency. But for that length and money fuck that noise.

One hand I am happy that he is locked up, on the other hand I feel like there is gonna be an avalanche of "fuck you pay me" demands coming from Springer (FA 2021), Correa (FA 2022), Cole (FA 2020), and McCullers (FA 2022).

The Astros can't pay all of them, but they can probably pay two of that four. Verlander, Reddick, Brantley, and Gurriel are all roughly coming off the payroll the same time to around the tune of $56+m per year. Maybe they can keep three of that four... but I doubt it.

Maybe. People thought the same for Joey Votto years ago and he's still absolutely worth every penny. And he's 35 now.

I mean they'll get that 430 million worth in like 5 seasons, plus what's having him do for the value of the team if they wanted to sell it?

I meant maybe it will be an albatross. I'm in agreement with you. Entirely possible Trout goes down as the greatest baseball player ever.

Trout is going to be worth that money after 6 seasons. Sounds crazy to say, but he left money on the table.
