Goodwin missed out by not going to CS Fullerton.      How many college players ever get to play in a stadium named after them?

Fletch included Goodwin's feelings on the process.

He wins.

I’m sooooo glad we never put Mike Trout through this process. Words are something that stick with people for a long time, so who knows if that might have affected Trout’s decision to stay here.

You know what really sticks with people?

Money.

Money. 

The contract Nolan Arenado has isn’t keeping him from voicing his displeasures with the team. And plus, something tells me that if Trout made it to free agency, the Angels wouldn’t be the only team to offer him a 400+ million contract.

The Angels have done a good job in giving Mike Trout the pedestal he deserves to be on, unlike how teams like the Red Sox are doing with their own generational talents.

Ok, now list the players who have signed with the team that offered the most money.

They gave him a min-type raise his first couple years.  Could have been a lot more generous.

I bitched about it (shocker).  Others said it wouldn't have an effect on his long term contract status is the money was there.

They were right.

Probably most of them, but if team A and team B are offering you the same years and money, I’m sure that comes into the equation at least a little bit.

“Obviously, you look at yourself one way, you see yourself and you know who you are as a player,” Goodwin said. “You know what you bring to the table, what kind of work you put in. And that's your identity. That’s the way you identify yourself and anybody that kind of goes against it, whether it be for the sake of winning the argument or whether it's what they believe, obviously, it’s not easy.”
