Mike Trout Reportedly Expected to Receive 'Lifetime' Contract Offer from Angels

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2795676-mike-trout-reportedly-expected-to-receive-lifetime-contract-offer-from-angels

While Bryce Harper and Manny Machado will be the biggest names on the free-agent market this offseason, it could be a player already under contract for the foreseeable future who could make the biggest splash.

According to Jon Heyman of Fancred, the Los Angeles Angels are expected to approach Trout with extension talks that could lead to his being an Angel for life...

Lets hope it's something he wants and signs this offseason.

Awesome. Make it happen!!!!!!!

[nate 9,124]

Wonder what that looks like... 10/400?

[yamsi12 132]

12/500 with partially ownership of the team after he retires an angel.

[Vladdylonglegs 1,725]

12/400 with the condition that the team moves to NJ by his age 31 season.

When its positive its legit, when its negative its fake news...sounds familiar.

The way to sign him is to include an opt-out clause in case we still can't get our act together and field a winning team around him.

That's a must. He'll have an incredible amount of money and the freedom to go elsewhere in search of postseason glory. The best of all worlds.

you don't offer him an opt-out, you wait until he requests one.

I know you are joking but my boss is a giant Phillies fan that lives in South Jersey and he says most of his friends are convinced Trout wants to come there.  My boss, to his credit, thinks that Trout will stay with the Angels.

Not by contracts alone.

The interesting spot is if/when they offer it. If he doesn't sign it this off season. That's when shit will get fun and interesting.

[fan_since79 10,694]

What if he demands a ten-year extension for Scioscia as part of the deal?

What do we do then?

I'm conflicted about that.

No kidding.

Chuck will have to bring in suicide counselors as moderators. 

[VariousCrap 2,353]

I'm just glad the Angels are going to most likely try to extend him sooner rather than later.  Get things set with Trout and then figure out what to do around him.
