Trout press conference question

Best press conference ever. I think I see Chuck in the "crowd".

And of course, Sean Barnett. He had a fantastic bullpen session and then vanished.

When he did pitch for us he did a great job. It’s too bad he couldn’t stay healthy. I thought he was a really good signing.

Any articles you do between now and the press conference has no bearing on whether I attend the press conference Jeff.  Like others have said, it's a celebration and nothing really that informative.  The Pujols/Wilson conference was the best I have been to up until now, followed closely by Ohtani's.

Unfortunately, this is true.

Too proud to be in the crowd.

These type of press conferences are  a ceremonial ritual. A public affirmation of faith and commitment to the franchise. A semi formal, orchestrated way to confirm solidarity between player, franchise and fans. 

Discussions of money usually are quickly dismissed while focus is on the bright future ahead.

As such, a necessary part of process even if devoid of hard content.
