I have been a big believer in Angels throwing some big $ and Machado and or Harper with the intent to bring a big contract to Trout and say Sign it or we are trading you.
I love trout more than anything, but i believe getting Harper or Machado plus the package that you get from Trout would make the team better than just Trout alone.
I would bet a team like the Dodgers or Yankees would give up a massive haul to have Trout for 2 years.
You could start by asking the dodgers for Buehler and Bellinger plus top 2 prospects in there system....It would hurt my soul to see Trout go anywhere, but ultimately I want to see the angels in the playoffs. With or without Trout.
