F*ck this article.

Trout, a Millville, N.J., native, figures to trigger the hottest free-agent war ever when, at 29, his six-year, $144 million contract expires after the 2020 season [F*ck this].

“Mike’s an East Coast guy,” said Scioscia, his manager since 2011. “But I know he’s going to take his time and make a decision. He never rushes into anything. I think he’ll look at what improvements are happening with the Angels and go from there. He wants to win. He wants to play for something. The one year he made the playoffs in ’14, you saw him shine [um, he did?]. That’s really going to be important as to where he winds up.”

There’s been no indication, of course, that the Phillies will pursue Trout. And, as for Scioscia, he doesn’t figure to be out of work long.

“I don’t feel like I’ve exited the game,” he said. “I still love it with a passion, and if I have a chance to manage, I’m definitely going to consider it.”

If Trout ends up pulling a Tavares 2.0 I'm done following this team cause of all those years throwing money at Pujols, Hamilton, Wells & can't even keep Trout.

I've been watching the Angels play since 1966. If I had hung my fandom on any given player it wouldn't have made it out of the 70's.

This is such a lazy story.

[yk9001]

The one year he made the playoffs in ’14, you saw him shine.

Scioscia become such a lazy liar later in life.

yeah not sure what Scioscia meant by "shine" but Trout sucked in that series, along with the rest of the team.

"Buzzsaw"

"Trout wants to win"

Let's pencil him in as signing with *squints* a team that hasn't made the postseason since 2011 and hasn't won more than 81 games during that time either. Yes, Philly is setting themselves up for 2020+ but why does the media constantly ignore that the Angels are doing the same themselves?

[mtangelsfan]

The article and Sosh said nothing about nothing.

1.  He's an  East Coast Guy.  No duh.

2.  He wants to win.  No duh

3.  Wait, there is no other thing.  

What a stupid article.

[Jay]

It's an article written by homers, just like most of the content here on AW.

 

[Stradling]

Did the article mention that their GM is a Dipoto disciple that worked as our Assistsnt GM?

A more pertinent consideration is what his wife might want. Her family is all back in New Jersey.

Recall what happened to Teixeira.

[Blarg]

That is one player and only one, that you can cite for a reference. Trout's wife will not decide where Mike plays out his career. 

[Stradling]

So Troy Tulowitski could pretty much play anywhere he wants and get paid the same.  He chose the Yankees, his wife must be from NY.  Nope she’s from SF.  I guess they’ll be separating now. 

[Blarg]

I actually liked the story. You guys have to quit being so jealous of all the other teams wanting Trout to play for them. 

[yk9001]

It's a story out of Philadelphia.

[nate]

It isn't a dumb story, it's just a story with no substance.  Local Philly publication writing about two popular Philly guys.

I think people are reading way too much into it.

[Docwaukee]

it's mostly about Scioscia.

Is SF going to contend this year, or anytime soon?

I think there is more than just the wife's desire, at this point in his career. It's probably his last chance at a ring.

Some players just want to play for a winning team and make the playoffs, I've heard..........................

Yes there are a lot of things to consider when deciding where to play.  Thank you for agreeing with me.

Except Trout isn't a Philly guy anymore than a kid from Orange County that is a Cowboys fan is a Dallas guy. People read way too much into him picking a out of state team as a kid and thinking he's going to play for them. 

[nate]

Philly, not Phillie.

Millville is a 45 min drive from Philly.  He is a Philly guy but it still isn't the end all be all of how he'll choose his future.  

[NJHalo]

He doesn’t seem to miss too many Eagles games as it is. 

Angels Playoff games don’t seem to be getting in the way.
