peppers312 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 well worth the money if you base it off what Machado and Harper just got. Trout is way better than both of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 i'd have to work until 6087 to make that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I guess Rick and Kenny can stop scouting Trout's relatives and friends. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 "Only" 36 per year. Well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Once again...Machado's deal was a "Bargain" compared to market rate. We will never have a chance at a top 10-15 player for under 300 million ever again. But at least we will have that Eloy money saved up for years... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was going to say this is good for baseball, good for Trout, and good for White Sox fans, as we will be spared the half assed pursuit of him during free agency, where bringing in his friends, or letting him meet Jim Thome should be enough for him to take tens of millions less than anyone else. Obviously at his price KW cannot afford to build a winning team. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I am surprised Trout was so willing to re-sign with the Angels. They have been absolutely terrible at surrounding him with any talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The $250 mill guaranteed the Sox were going to offer was a better deal to be honest. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Sox would have offered 8 years, $300 mill with a bunch of incentives and options to be worth 12 years, $460 mill. Kenny: "Our offer is better. All he has to do is basically stay healthy." Edited March 19, 2019 by soxfan2014 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Controversial opinion - he should have taken 10 million less. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Quick, Kenny and Rick: lob over a 10/300 deal before he signs! That way you can brag to your fanbase about how the Sox were prepared to offer the largest contract in team history. #seatatthetable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Shouldn't the Angels save that money to sign their players five years from now? Seems like an irresponsible use of money 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 So much for Harper recruiting him to the Phillies in a couple years. Looks like a great deal for both sides, especially the Angels. He's worth more than that, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
