If Ellsbury got 7/153, then what is Trout going to cost?

We absolutely should not offer an opt out clause. All that does is drive the AAV before he exercises the clause. Makes 0 sense.

Buying out a FA year will cost $30 million per year.

To be honest I see Trout going year to year via arbitration. If I were with the union I would be putting a tremendous amount of pressure on Trout to go through the arbitration process and shatter all records.

Would help serve as a precedence for future players.

Coach, I just can't imagine it would go down that way.  I highly doubt any agent or player would say "thanks, but no thanks."  At a minimum, they would say "give us an offer and let us consider."  If you then offer him too much to turn down, he won't reach free agency. 

 

I think you're right. What concerns me is Mike Trout is already the best player in baseball and by the time he's a free agent he might have become the best player since Willie Mays. I would hope the Angels would be doing all they can to lock him up to as many years possible as soon as they can.
