Did the article mention that the article is stupid?

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

I am not jealous.  It's just tired speculation.  It's boring.  We have heard it.  Why don't they go ahead and include a photo of haggard Pamela Anderson in a straw cowboy hat and a bikini?

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

No problem. I knew I was.

You will also be correct that there are other reasons, if Trout turns down MONEY as a reason for staying with the Angels.

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.

That and maybe he wanted to join a team that is playing for 2019.

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. 

To be fair, you also haven’t seen an Angels player remotely as good as Mike Trout in that time. Not saying that changes it for you, but virtually any other player you saw could be replaced.

Yes, I’d assume money won’t be his number one reason for staying.

Um, no.  I follow the Angels, not the Trouts.  
Weve had great players in our history, perhaps not AS great but great nonetheless... none of those names on the back ever transcended the name on the front of the jersey.

[Dtwncbad]

I am fine processing this whole thing based on whatever Trout wants to do.

If he goes, he was an all-time legendary player that was drafted by the Angels and was a stud while he was here.

If he stays here, he was an all-time legendary player and lifelong Angel.

I am 100% fine right now not knowing which it is and 100% fine with whatever the guy wants to do.

Trout has been so good, so classy, so respectful to the game, to the organization and to the fans, that I feel obligated to respect whatever he wants to do.

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. 

That, and Teixeira seemed like kind of a douche anyway.

Agreed. I’ll cry when he leaves but I’ll totally understand, most of his angels career this organization was in disarray. Could you honestly blame him? 

[Dtwncbad]

I still cant believe ANYONE wanted one second being annoyed at Mark Teixeira for "leaving" the Angels.  He was traded here mid season and then was a free agent.

I remember the stupid petty Padre fans "hating" Kevin Brown for signing with the Dodgers after their 1998 season (when Brown carried them on his back into the WS) when he became a free agent at the end of the one season he pitched for them after being traded by the Marlins.

They viewed him as a traitor.  So, so dumb.

[Lou]

if Trout were to sign with another team, I would pull for him 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to suck ass. 

[Docwaukee]

If Trout has no intention of staying, it would be nice to know that now.  Knowing his character, I think he would have let us know if that were the case.  So I think there is a strong chance of him staying and it all comes down to the parameters of the deal.  

I don't think Arte would low ball him so if it progresses based on things making sense, he'll be a lifetime Angel.  But hey, sometimes weird shit happens.

i'll be honest. if trout signed with the phillies, then i'd just adopt the phillies as my national league team.

Complete agree with you.  I've been saying this for years.  Tex didn't owe the Angels anything.
