It is sad that Trout's contract is looking questionable this early into it.

Year 1 (2019): Great

Year 2 (2020): Sub-par, but covid. Right?

Year 3 (2021): Played 36 games.

Year 4 (2022): Erratic performance, possibly indicative of decline. Worst two slumps of his career. Has played in 85% of games, which by the time he comes back could be ~80% or less.

I can't wait to see what Years 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 have in store for us.

He's done.

Back spasms to rib inflammation to likely complete tear of some mystery muscle?Dude’s heart/head does not seem to be in the game anymore. Maybe his heart is on being a full time dad, absolutely nothing wrong with that. Wouldn’t surprise me if he retired prematurely. 
There is just too much smoke with last year’s “calf sprain”, all the strikeouts this year, and now this bullshit ‘injury’. Since when are pro athletes at optimal health this far into a season, in any sport?

This post is very Canadian.

Just another long-term contract that will end up bad.

:::warning::::not saying this is the case. 
 

But…his injuries and long recovery times are on par with someone who’s body is breaking down from roids. Muscles and ligaments become brittle over time and recovery takes longer and longer. He’s not barely 30 and he’s recovering like a 50-60 year old.

I think there was whole discussion about this in a thread a while back

He will ask for trade in off season. Soto and Trout in NY outfield. Ohtani to Doyers and Rendon will be halo DH.

Damn so it’s possible that is not a factual statement?

I’d like to think that there’s no way this could be. Talk about a major disappointment. I just think he’s played MLB level baseball since he was a 19 year old kid and his body is suffering the consequences now

I think it is but there’s a theory that water makes things wet. Something like that

I don’t think it is the case and hope it’s not. I just know so many people who do steroids and they all have horrendous body breakdowns pre 40 years old. 

[Angelsfan1984]

Basically the body becomes so dependent on what they provide that the body stops healing muscles naturally.

@Angelsfan1984 you’re basically accusing Trout and playing it off like you’re not

I’m not accusing him as I prefaced several times. I said I’ve seen similar breakdown. Could these all be freak injuries…sure they can. It’s the recovery and frequency that has me concerned.

I’m not saying you’re a liar, but… I don’t believe you
