Is there anyone who actually wants Trout gone when its time?

I can't agree with the OP.  What two players would be worth trout at 40 million?  Even during his age 36 - 41 years

Jason Heyward and Yu Darvish.

Get it done, Eppy.

Sometimes there is a fine line between edgy and stupid.

 

 

 

not the case here

If Trout doesn’t sign this next off season

you have to trade him

you can’t risk only receiving 1 draft pick for him 

don’t want to end up like Washington

Seems hes the reason were not winning.  When its clearly time to rebuild a while ago, we are instead stuck in purgatory because were trying to get a guy a ring who's been on his way out the door long before Harper came to town.  

Through 858 career gms:
Trout 189 2B, 39 3B, 184 HR, 513 BB, 826 K .308/.408/.567
Pujols 237 2B, 11 3B, 229 HR, 453 BB, 369 K .331/.419/.626

Let Philly have the $40 million version of Trout when hes on the wrong side of 30 and approaching their 40's.   Thanks for the memories and the prime years.  Unless they find some new steroids ala David Ortiz, why should we expect them to perform differently than any other washed up superstar, now in that age.  Its going to be Pujols/Miguel Cabrera/McCutchen/most other superstars, PT 2 after just a couple years into that contract.

 

Outstanding post. 

10/10

Trout will only be 29.  Pujols was already 40 when we signed him.

I like Trout, but I like making it to the playoffs even more.

The teams with the best pitching usually make it to the playoffs. 

I'd rather see us get 2 or 3 awesome pitchers than 1 Mike Trout. 

As for Harper, I'm wishing for one thing:  Scioscia goes to the Phillys.

Ok so how do get 2 or 3 awesome pitchers

Pretty sure their answer will be, “Trade Trout before he’s lost with only a comp pick because he doesn’t want to be here anyway.”

If we're going to pay Trout 400 mil over 13 yrs or so, why not find a Bumgarner or Kershaw or both for $175 mil over 6 yrs....

Because neither are near their prime and only one will be a free agent soon.  

[Stradling]

Also that’s $58 million a year for those two instead of $35 million for Trout using your numbers @yvangelfan

I'm not talking specifically about Kershaw and Bumgarner ~ they're worn out. But there has to be somebody out there who's young and talented and worthy of being an all star. 1 or 2 or 3  of those would be nice.

And Scaggs is scratched for trying a new pitch.

My quick math had 2 pitchers @29 mil yr each.
