The Angels need to get some assistance from a major Japanese company to seal the deal.

Come on recon, I'm already wearing the new Albert 602 HR milestone t-shirt. You're a little late man. 

I honestly think you're wrong on all five points. 
5) He's marrying his high school sweetheart, not his mom. Both of their families are from the same town. He's a Philadelphia fan of basketball and football and hockey. He's east coast but playing in Fenway or Yankee Stadium or Camden Yard doesn't necessarily mean he's playing at home. 
4) We've been saying that for years. The farm won't correct itself in two years when Trout will be entering his contract year. We don't even have an Ace pitcher in place or well established closer. How good will Calhoun and Pujols be in 3 years? Oh and Scioscia will be gone so Albert won't be as comfortable as he normally is. 
3) Sure Arte will be in the mix but he'll be competing with other teams that will be willing to pay him more. 
2) Albert Pujols is not his agent, not his lawyer, he doesn't cook for him or sleep with him. Albert still makes his winter home in Kansas City. Albert is going to tell Trout to do whatever is best for his family because that's what he did. The State of California isn't all that anymore. And Angels Stadium is way outdated. 
1) Mike Trout has spent his whole life preparing to be the best baseball player in the world and he is. That also means that he was preparing to win on the big stage, tradition, history, national exposure, playoffs, world series, Mr. October, not Miss October. To think that he'll be happy flirting with the wild cards every year is a huge mistake. They've continuously failed to put a winning team around him and it's stunning that the best player in the world has only 3 measly playoff games to his name. He's playing in a pitchers park with a ton of underachieving teammates while other younger teams are thriving with continuous playoff excitement. There's way too much at stake for Trout to commit to the Angels with the whole baseball world that available to him. 

I'm going to miss the dumpster dive every time we lose 3 games in a row.

LAA 2018 season T. O. D. 6/18/18 10:32pm
Cause of death; Bullpen affixation.

Brian Snitker’s Braves are 28-18. Good to see those two teams competing with less than $100M payrolls. 

The A’s are 40-0 when leading after the 8th inning this season.

Gamel > Upton, at a fraction of the price.
OPS is similar, and Gamel’s defense is much, much better.
I guess this franchise hasn’t learned to avoid giving out bad contracts?
Halos relievers, watch the Mariners relievers, and LEARN.

We’ve definitely seen our share leafye type players in 2018. 

Dude, i randomly came across k earth like 5 years ago. They were playing prince.
At first i was like "wow, they used to play oldies"
Then i realized the "oldies" i used to hear on that channel were 20-30 years old...like 80s music now...
Then i drank an Ensure and yelled at the neighbor kids when theyre baseball landed in my backyard. And tucked my shirt into my shorts that i was wearing a belt with.

I was going to give your post a like but I only really like this one. 

Mike Trout, on the possibility of playing on the east coast: “I like being an Angel...I like where I’m at.”
Maybe someone ( @Chuckster70 ) should paste this into Clods profile signature. Then remove permissions for him to change it. 

Oh wait can he still DH?

When he gets back, it'll be like a big splash FA signing.

Oh wait can he still DH?
