wow, people are talking about this as a good deal???? lol. They said the angels only added 2mil to payroll. But they dont want to spend as it is because of the tax. Stupid deal IMO

How did Trout get more than Harper?

Trout's legit.

Deal sure isn't any worse than paying A-Rod $25M/year almost 2 decades ago like the Rangers did, or paying A-Rod $27.5M/year over a decade ago like the Yankees did.

He's a Hall of Fame level player.

Compare their 162-game averages and Trout beats him in almost everything. Why wouldn't Trout get more?

This. It’s because he plays on the West Coast small market team. Trout is better in every aspect.

Because he's better than Harper. He's the best player in baseball.

It is actually a 10 year 364m extension to the 2 years and 66m he had left on his deal

What was I thinking giving up baseball. Well maybe it was because I couldn’t hit, field, catch, or throw that good. Other than that, I was pretty good but only in my own eyes.
