I know it's not my money, but you don't pass up on an opportunity to bring in a player like Bryce Harper. You have to sign him, period. 

What will torque me off is if the Pujols contract figures into:

(a) the Angels totally passing on Harper, or

(b) The Angels signing Harper, but being unable to extend Trout because there would still be a year left on Pujols' deal.

it's safe to assume that we wouldn't sign Harper or Machado even if we weren't beholden to the Pujols contract.  Arte isn't going to commit 70+ mil to two players for 10+ years.  The 10+ years is the important part.  They might have individual seasons of guys with a high salary but to commit to that long takes away any flexibility whatsoever.

I totally disagree with the first sentence of this. Arte commited 50 million to Hamilton and Pujols 5 years ago. What makes you think he wouldn’t commit 70 million (and you have to factor in inflation over the last 5 years) to two superstars under 28 IF he didn’t have the Pujols contract?

He also said for ten years each.  That is more the length of the deal.

Fair. But I will point out that Harper is entering his age 26 season and Hamilton was entering his age 32. 

To me, it isn't absurd at all to have two guys Trout/haper's age on long term deals. 

The Hamilton/Pujols situation was absurd for many reasons, which Trout/Haprer have almost nothing in common with
