I still predict that Pujols and the Halos will agree on how to pay out the remaining $59 million due for 2020-2021 (during ten year services contract?) , and then he will stop playing after 2019.     As Doc said, batting 5th until Ohtani returns, and then 6th.

 

I'm looking forward to Pujols becoming player/manager...and then putting himself in the 3rd slot.

Anyone else want to start the Betts to LAA rumors to torture the chowds for a couple years?

Yeah, I just rebooted the server. 

We're all good now. Too many pages got cached from today and it has been about 8 weeks since my last server reboot, so it was due.  

And really, is there a better reason to have to reboot the server?

apparently this dude isn't a fan of the Trout

He’s a brain damaged gweedo.  These freaks are all over the place.  Pretty good reason for Trout to stay west.

Could it be Deniz? I guess we won't know until he Tweets about bringing in old cups to get free sodas at Carl's Jr.

Gonna point out another gem @Jeff Fletcher had a few months back. Which really stood out (to me). 

He mentioned something along the lines of "do you think trout sees tyler skaggs the same as a fan does".

This was something everyone had to keep in mind all this time. Yes, he grew up in NJ, but he became an adult out here. Almost all his adult friendships and memories came from out here.

It's a 10 year extension so why is it being reported as 12 years?  I guess they are just ignoring the 2 years Trout has left and it's easier that way. Still misleading though.

The Angels will nullify that possibility by ripping up the final two seasons of his six-year, $144.5 million deal and replacing it with the new 12-year deal through the 2030 season, sources told ESPN.

Okay so no one really knows yet. Still though, he is set to make 66 million over the next 2 years so a 10 year 360 million extension gets him to that figureish being reported.

The irony...it burns!

Why does it matter?

This will make trout the longest serving angels player of all time, too right?

Greatest player weve ever had, born and bred here, no doubt hall of famer... a historic player we can finally claim as all ours.

Well done, angels.

The news of this has provided me with lots of entertainment today.  All the opinions out there vary of course, but the most butt hurt and angry of them all i have observed, are both Philly and get this, Dodger fans.  The most common of the statements made are of course Trout will never win, and the team has and done nothing while he has been here.  These comments come from "well informed" baseball people that have zero idea whats been going on around here since the departure of DipShit.  There are a few so called "experts" in the media that have made the statements that we are in fact rebuilding the farm, and making strides to improve the team.  Typical Yankee, Boston, and Dodger fans answer is to just throw money at it.  Russo was a prime example of someone who lives in the east coast shell and has zero idea about the Angels and what is actually going on.

Just a brief tidbit of my thoughts....

Today has been a great entertainment day, have not had this much fun since the signing of Ohtani.

Such great news! Thank you, Lord Baby Jesus.
