I don’t get what the benefit of offering him early opt outs is ? Isn’t it frustrating enough worrying about him bouncing now ? Why would the team do that. If they give him an opt out give one, in the middle of the contract when he’s like 32 or 33. I even hate that. Other then that it’s dumb. If the team is going to throw that kind money at him and make that kind of commitment then the player shouldn’t have escape hatches all over the contract so the team is constantly black mailed. Commit or don’t.
Trout is an important piece of the Angels history and is almost certainly the clubs greatest player. Make him an Angels for life and be done with it. It’s good for him, it’s good for the club and it’s good for the fans.
