Angels renew Trout @ 510K. Agent mad?

[YouthofToday]

A comment from the HardballTalk Trout story (not me):

"Trout will be earning $47,763 per win above replacement (b-ref WAR)

Wells will be earning $42,000,000 per win above replacement (also b-ref WAR)

Thus, as a function of their actual value, Wells will be earning 879 times more per win produced than Trout."

Thanks Reagins!!!

Seriously?  Why the little kid games?  Lou.  

 

 

that wasn't me

[AZMike]

OK Kids...

What is better?

Less money, or more money?

IMO it would not have hurt to give Trout the equivalent of 1 or 2 Wells-games* of compensation as a bonus.

 

 

(*to translate, one Wells-game = a unit of currency worth more than double my annual salary)

I think the solution to this is clear. Have Reagins cover the bill for everyone's lunch in the clubhouse. He can afford it with that huge sum of inheritance money he obtained from some long lost super-rich relative he'd never heard of until shortly after the Wells trade went through.

in contrast to Trout's deal....

 

The Marlins renewed the contract of Giancarlo Stanton for $537K, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports. Stanton's not earning much more than the MLB minimum of $490K for now, but he'll earn a substantial raise one year from now when he's arbitration eligible for the first time.

[ScottT]

Marlins certainly already pissed off Stanton. He is gone even if they give him $5 million this year.  

[Wallerrrr]

true, he wasnt the biggest fan of their off-season moves...despite the additionas of Juan Pierre and Jeff Mathis and hitting coach Tino Martinez

[Ohtaniland]

In b4 Bryce Harper gets 5 years $25 million.

What an outrage!

Lets hope Harper doesn't get any love from the Nationals. I'm bothered by the fact that Trout's agent is making this issue bigger than it should be.

 

For those of you who are comparing this with contracts with established stars like Wells need to learn the system.

[Ohtaniland]

Finally the Wells contract rears its ugly head.

[jshep]

Harper's salary is already locked in through 2015 on the MLB contract he managed to get out of the draft.

It's like 5 years/9.something million including his signing bonus that's paid out annually.

[vegasmike]

Trout's agent needs to chill he will get his money once he signs with the Phillies.

The Nats signed him to a 5 year 9.9 M deal that runs through 2015. The Angels will most likely give Trout a lot more than that in a year or two.

I'm shocked that Trout's agent thought the Angels should've renewed him for more money.

I am surprised that some here are making it a bigger deal tban it is.

If Trout continues playing at the level of last season or close to it ... then I wouldn't be bothered if his agent took the Angels to the cleaners.

He won't resign with the Angels guaranteed.  Don't fall in love with this dude.  He is going home.  BOOK IT.

Hear this on the lower fields during BP and drills Mike?

Always love your "inside scoops".

You and that usher (Jan?) keep up the solid work

Alright ladies, play nice or the thread goes bye bye.
