Definitely agree. Trout wants to win, but I don’t think winning is #1 on his list of priorities when considering where to play.
His loyalty also played a big factor in his decision. The Angels picked him, they made him a great offer, he loves things the aspects of playing with the Angels outside of the game (who wouldn’t), the sell on “contending” was good enough with up and comers like Adell, etc. It was probably a pretty smooth deal.
