Trout 12 years/$440 million! Its done!!

[Jeremiah]

Awesome news to get this morning! I’m so glad he’ll be an Angel for life.

im glad this will also shut off the national media narrative that he wants to play in Philly with Harper.

[T.G.]

THANK YOU @Jeff Fletcher for being the voice of reason throughout this process.  You had me believing the Angels had an excellent chance to extend Mike Trout.  You were right.  Your confidence helped keep me sane.  When I would talk to friends... I'd always come back to "well, Jeff Fletcher believes..."

Ha, I am having a lot of "I told you so" feelings today

Woke up this morning with a text from my son that only had 12 for 430 mil.  I thought, what the heck is this, maybe he sent this to the wrong person.

This is great news and the endless posts from the naysayers hopefully will stop.

I'm honestly shaking in excitement.. I have been cautiously optimistic while slowly losing hope. But damnit, Mike Trout is an Angel! This makes us an offseason WINNER.

I wish I could like this 10 more times.

We can really believe in Mike Trout. By signing this extension, it tells us he is who we thought he was.

[Mark68]

Waiting for Lou to agree with everyone who doubted that Trout would sign an extension...

^^^Equal parts hilarious and disturbing.

Anybody here who has actually been to Philly or Camden can weigh 10 summers in those places with 10 summers in Newport Beach. You can visit Millville any time between November and January for some ice fishing or whatever.

Thank you Mike, Arte, and Billy!  Great day to be an Angels fan!

Ok bro. Asking questions about details of the contract is not being a downer.  I'm super stoked to see there isn't any.  If there were opt outs sprinkled in it would be a mess.  The narrative of him leaving would never stop.  Great job arte. Eppler, and trout!

So hypeeeeee. In an age of non-loyal athletes Mike Trout breaks the mold once again.

If anybody with a Twitter account wants to yell at Chris Russo, please tell him to get some glasses. He was slamming the Angels for their records for the past  5 seasons  just a few minutes ago. He misread the 2015 record at 65 wins and not the 85 they actually won that season. The 65 allowed him to embellish his attack on their competence. Is he really just Yankees or Mets?

I don't mess with Twitter and there doesn't seem to be another direct link to him at MLB Network.

So is there a no trade clause? Either way this is the greatest news ever!!!!

[Dick Enberg]

Per Bob Nightengale...

They knew that Trout was fully invested in the organization. Trout even studied videos and watched hitters before the last few drafts, and personally lobbied for the Angels to draft outfielder Jo Adell in 2017. They drafted, signed him, and Trout even gave him his cell phone number, telling him to call whenever he needed anything.

Just waking up to this.

Perhaps we will finally get a picture of trout eating pizza for weatherwonk...

Was just watching this and I wanted to throw my coffee at the tv. Russo is the worst. He was just getting into it with Rosenthal.

Let Trout run the Angels drafts from now on
