I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but I... don't hate this deal at $2.5M (if that's what we're paying).

Minasian just took the job recently.  He hasn't had the opportunity to build out his team, create a long-term vision, or really even get to know the team's prospects.

What Minasian is doing is playing a long game.  Next year's FA class is absolutely stacked, with a ton of high-end starting pitching and four amazing shortstops in the prime of their careers.  All of these one year deals, plus the Pujols $30M coming off the books, is going to create a TON of flexibility for Minasian and his team to formulate and implement a plan.

I am sensitive to the fear of a decline starting for Trout, but I think our window runs another five years.  I'll reserve judgement and will rain the hate down on Minasian if we're still in this same place a year from now.  But something tells me that the 2022 Angels are going to look MUCH better.  

Assuming we have baseball in 2022.

only paying 1.75 it's good stop gap.

So Trout is surrounded in the outfield by Justin Upton and Dexter Fowler...  let that sink in. 

Didn't Moreno or someone from the Angels FO or within the organization state that they owe it to Trout to try and win now or something like that? Was an article a couple of weeks ago? Am misremembering that quote?
