It’s pathetic.  I love Mike Trout.  He’s my favorite player ever. To act like he’s owed anything is juvenile. He and many other players traded their freedom for dollars.

As messed up as it is for all of us to accept the Angels are currently a terrible franchise.  Moreno is mainly to blame.  Rosenthal is a douchebag, but sadly he’s not that far off.

And Arte’s #1 lackey jumps in to defend!

Fuck off. It isn’t about being an Arte fan, which I’m not, it’s about stating the obvious.

Honestly Cals I don't think there's anyone left here or on social media that's an Arte fan. 

He's F'd things up across the board. 

So yeah, F him and F Rosenthal.

If the Angels suck a national writer has the right to make an article about it.  Sorry if you haven’t accepted that the Angels are terrible.  

Don’t read Bowtie’s article if it upsets you.

Sure write about how terrible the team is.  This isn’t that.  This isn’t the 60’s where players had no choice in the matter.  He made a decision.  It turned out to be a bad decision if he chose it to win championships. What he did get was $400 million. Guess what? As far as production goes, it wasn’t a great decision for the Angels to give them that money either, as much as it pains me to say that. He’s been hurt AND the Angels have sucked, it isn’t either or, it’s both. They chose each other.

It was a tad bit more than an Angels suck article. 

Trout is happy, has said so numerous times. So, it's weird how these media nerds still try and drive a narrative that he is "trapped".

Yep. It's also stupid to imply Trout has no agency or personal choice in the matter.

[Blarg]

Trout's stock has diminished because of the injuries but if he were to tell Minasian he wants to be traded there would be plenty of teams willing to pick him up. The only hurdle would be Moreno letting him go. 

[T.G.]

Same old crap.  Different day.

Mike Trout is happy in Anaheim.  At least publicly. 

The Angels suck. 

Arte sucks.

Rosenthal sucks

AW rocks.

Next...

[Angel Oracle]

Isn’t it time for the Halos to have a HOF player for his entire career?

[Jay]

It's not as if Trout is killing it in Anaheim but the team around him sucks. He hasn't been good and now he's hurt. Again.

Trout has had a great career. He got the big contract and was the poster boy of MLB for several years. Now he's in the twilight of his career.

If he wanted to win championships he should never have signed the extension with the Angels. Some of us said that at the time.

If Trout wants out of Anaheim I'm sure we would have heard about it by now.

[Make Angels Great Again]

I don't care if the Angels are overpaying Trout. I couldn't give less than a shit about the "production" or lackthereof they're getting out of the contract. This guy is loyal, and seems intent on sticking with his original team until they can become winners. Which hopefully they will someday soon. Because Trout seems to agree that there's a lot more satisfaction in winning in the place that you started than jumping ship to somewhere new where it's expected, but where you have no history. It cheapens the value of winning.

I'd rather them overpay Trout a billion times over than overpay the likes of Pujols, Hamilton, etc.

Let's fucking go Trout

That’s because Trout was a great ball player and is a great dude. They have always hated the fact he was with the Angels since day one.

Yep but I have serious doubts they will ever have a winning team during Trout’s contract.

Rosenthal is a hobbit

National writers don’t hate (team name here). It’s always been about how Trout has never been able to play far into the playoffs against the best teams in MLB in the spotlight of a World Series. Name the sport, and you’ll find HOFers who never were able to win the big prize: Marino, Barkley, Stockton/Malone, Ted Willliams, Junior Griffey, and more. I think we as fans, as well as national media, want to see the best face off against the best. The sports leagues want that too. When teams can’t build winners around generational talent, it’s seen as an organizational failure, fairly or not. At least Ted Williams played in one WS. Trout will likely be the greatest MLB player never to play for a championship.

Trout got to play for the World Baseball Classic championship.

Why play in the World Series once you've already played in the World Series Jr.?

Amirite?

Post season baseball would interfere with him going to Eagles football games.
