If Mike Trout were to sign with the Phillies...

[T.G.]

I will always hate the A's the most. I always have....

 

If Trout walks, I will be very disappointed, but I will always be an Angels fan. 

As for hating or wishing him to fail... nah, I don't think so. Ok... maybe a little but...

[fan_since79]

I'm used to being disappointed, even crushed, by the Angels so the hatred of other teams is almost washed out of me. Trout deserves to go to a team that will win. Whatever he decides, good for him.

I think Strad wants to talk about positive things, even during a discussion about bad things.  In his business this is called the “double double with fries conversation”.

No it was a joke.  

[Docwaukee]

btw, I am definitely going to be rooting for the Phils to absolutely suck and implode this year.  I want the fans to turn on Harper big time and for him to lose his mind dealing with them.

Oh for gods sake.  Chuck can you just lump all of Trout leaving the Angels threads into one unreadable thread please.  This forum is freaking unreadable 

[Jay]

I won't hate Trout if he leaves. We had him for 8+ years and he always gave us his best.

I have no reason to hate the Phillies either, although it would be a bummer if they won the WS with Trout while the Angels still suck.

Honestly we're better of without Trout, mega deals have never worked and will never work out for us.  Let Philly learn the hard lesson and pay 800MM between two players.  Plus Harper and Trout on the same team is good for baseball in a sense, I'm tired of Trout, he hasn't done much for us other than play well for himself.

ooooh, you're so edgy

Bryce Harper Hints at Recruiting Angels' Mike Trout to Join Phillies in 2020

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/bryce-harper-hints-recruiting-angels-201926081.html

Bryce Harper is already working to recruit Angels outfielder Mike Trout to join the Phillies when he hits the free-agency market after the 2020 season.

When asked about how his record-setting 13-year, $330 million contract might impact the future of the franchise, Harper said his deal still allows the Phillies financial flexibility to bring in other players–and hinted at a guy who comes off the books "in about two year."

Cough, cough: Trout.

If the Angels F this up and lose Trout when they had a chance to give him a lifetime contract, he signs with the phils, wins a championship with them while we continue to hover around mediocre then I'm not sure who I'm gonna be pissed at.    

Oh, that’s easy . . . Chowd fans.

I know right, people who are the best at things are such pieces of shit. Youre probably a great guy

[goldenGlove]

If trout went to the doyers he quickly becomes my least favorite player. It means he doesn’t care about being close to home and just doesn’t want to play with us and also f*ck the dodgers. If he goes to any other team then still f**k the dodgers

I think I burned my fingers on my keyboard just picking up this hot take an placing it in the reply box at the bottom.

Boston is the taint of America.

I think you are forgetting one, the Angels.  
If Trout himself proposed a long term deal that they didnt take, they have noone to blame but themselves. 

[floplag]

Im not sure its a good thing to threaten to delete threads simply because you dont like reading them.   I thought we were better than that around here.
