Is anyone worried....

[Sciosciapath]

with Trout being back in the Tri state area, in Yankee stadium, back with family/friends in the area, etc? 

 

All this stuff doesn't factor with somebody when free agency rolls around, right? 

 

I'm sure management will come to something long term with Trout before free agency is even an option, at least I hope so.

 

 

This isn't the stuff I'd like to see.

He's tired of being called fat and wants to wear slimming pinstripes.   

 

But in all seriousness, yes it worries me that both the Yanks and Orioles are putting out the welcome mat.

In 4 years things will change.  Fans are so stupid sometimes.

Stupid for posing a hypothetical question about a guy who was just honored at his local high school and played at Yankee Stadium in front of family and friends?

 

That's cold, Steve.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Thank God the Phillies have an older team that's terrible. 

[Tank]

JUST STOP IT ALREADY!!

Apologies to AO.

[m0nkey]

Phils or yanks

[bloodbrother]

I'm not worried about it yet because he's still under control for years to come. When the time comes we'll see what happens. It will be a travesty if the Halos lose Trout, though. Best player this org has ever produced.

[Mark68]

Yes, let's worry now about what uniform Trout will don in 2018. I'm sure the Yankees and Orioles really want to be accused of tampering for the next four years.

 

People, get a friggen grip.

[Ohtaniland]

I'm sure that Trout will heavily consider playing in a more modern and hitters ballpark when its all said and done.

[bloodbrother]

Lol, apparently the Yankees radio crew(Jon Sterling) were talking today about how Trout hates LA and wants to play back east when he's a FA. Said they were told that Trout is upset over the weak raise the Halos gave him and is not happy here. Said he wants to play over in the East since he's from there

 

Of course, they went on to say that the Yankees must be kicking themselves for passing on Trout in the draft. Yankees didn't pick until AFTER Trout was picked, so there you go

[Mark68]

Trout will have more than two hundred million reasons to stay on the West Coast.

[Ohtaniland]

Uhm $200M won't get it done.

[gotbeer]

Trout will have more than two hundred million reasons to stay on the West Coast.

 

Won't help if someone offers him $200,050,000.  

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Yeah, in 2017 the Orioles, Phillies, Yankees, Mets, and maybe Red Sox may all seem appealing to Trout. He's an east coast boy, so its understandable. That's why we have to offer him a major contract before that point. If he can walk away from $150-$200 million before 2017, then more power to him.

[Mark68]

I said OVER two hundred million reasons. I didn't say ONLY two hundred million reasons.

 

But it's stupid to speculate about where he ends up in 2018 right now.

[Sciosciapath]

Well if this organization doesn't improve from the bottom up and start putting better teams on the field, why wouldn't he test his options?  People are underrating how bad that Pujols deal is, and the Hamilton deal.  

 

[mtangelsfan]

I'm sure there is some hyperbole in the OP, but if anyone is actually worried about something that might happen four years from now, I feel bad for them.

[sneaky_flute]

I could see him with the Rays or Mariners. He seems like a Seattle boy.

[Sciosciapath]

It was.  I'm not losing sleep over it, just some food for thought and discussion fodder other than "Scioscia sucks, Fire Dipoto"

Yep its not always about money. He could sign for less $$$ with the Yankees and crush all of the endorsement opportunities in NY's big market. I'm sure he gets goose bumps when he sees Monument Park. #27 is not a retired Yankees number. I hope that our Angels can step it up and build a team that Trout would want to stay with.

[fan_since79]

The Yankees had Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Bernie Williams in CF. We had...Jim Edmonds and who else?
