Ken Rosenthal Click Bait Trash Article: Mr. Angel? Mike Trout’s chance of ever escaping the franchise now seems even less likely.

Feel bad for Mike.  

He's been an absolute Halo's patriot.  

[Duren, Duren]

The Angels are an easy target to dump on. It's built up the entire length of Trout's career. Especially for east coast media. Do you think he would have such  contempt for the Red Sox or Yankees in a similar scenario? No doubt there would be criticism but I doubt it would be so dismissive and polarizing. After all he has to physically hang around those environments more frequently than venturing into Anaheim other than on rare occasions. If he personally was around Trout regularly be might have a more nuanced perspective. 

Good player on a weak team most of his career? Happens all the time everywhere. Less so now than in the past but every sport still has multiple examples. And it's not like Trout didn't have a choice. He has his priorities and expectations for the future and locked himself in with full understanding of the risks. And there are many examples of players finding redemption very late in their careers.

It might even make a better story if the Angels become elite at the very end of Trout's contract/career. Making his loyalty and perseverance more newsworthy.

If anyone is being held hostage it's Rosenthal. NYT buys the Athletic and threatens all the national writers that they better get some clicks or they might have to go find a real job

It's a creature that is very offended at being compared to Ken Rosenthal.

Well he's not my favorite player ever.  Not even close.  But he is overrated.  And he's absolutely NOT owed jack squat.  Zero.

He signed that bloated $426M contract. Like the old phrase "you make your own bed and have to sleep in it"...

Ok troll.

You know you’re an idiot when you make Stradling look like the sane one.

We love you @Stradling

And keep playing with yourself while staring at your Trout poster on the ceiling over your bed. 

Fly out Mikey TrOUT the overrated diva.

In the 20 years this place has existed plenty of dudes like you have come and gone.  This isn’t the place for you to come and be retarded. Figure it out or get lost.

This is dumb. When he signed the contract it was one of the best things to happen to this organization. Sadly, nobody saw or predicted the injuries would spiral out of control. It happens and he is the best player this team has had and who knows what could have been had he stayed healthy.

I'm so tired of this dumb talking point

It's a terrible job at trolling. He's probably a Dodger fan in real life.

No, he's still doing it.  He's just also doing his own where he can talk about baseball as a whole and not Angels focused

That's not how it works, but nice try.
