Kimmi, go look at the Angels payroll over the past few mediocre seasons. Trout was underpaid in that time compared to the garbage filling up that roster. The Angels only good contract is Trout.
If Trout’s contract was the reason they sucked, there’d be a correlation between the Angels winning when they paid Trout nothing and losing when they paid him a lot. It’s not the case.
Trout’s contract isn’t why the Angels stink. Trout is the only reason they aren’t the Orioles. Bad farm. Bad talent around Trout EVEN BEFORE THE BIG CONTRACT.
“ Red Sox appear focused on getting a deal done with the Dodgers"
"multiple teams have already reached out to the Red Sox since the three-way trade hit its first speed bump"
"other teams have suggested they would be also interested in Betts and possibly Price."
