Right forearm fatigue from signing that contract. 

I’m gonna listen to that Jim Bowden interview every night before I got to bed now.

Lol someone said he stayed here because the Angels are an obscure team....
 
wut...
 
Yeah we are so obscure. That’s why we attract big names like Ohtani, Pujols, Hamilton and Upton. 
 
Im sure the Marlins could have got all those players too.

Don’t ruin the moment. We will worry about that tomorrow.

The answer:
Less

Time to get Trout a ring. He’s just entering his prime. Let’s not waste it. Get a Simmons extension done next and let’s sign Cole in the offseason.

This insures that the Angels will almost certainly never have to do an intensive rebuild the next decade. All things being equal, they will  have the stable foundation (Trout, Ohtani, Addell, possibly Simmons) to contend long term. Assuming that a solid pitching staff evolves/progresses in the next few years.
Trout could remain the foundation of two or even three re-tooling cycles as well. The stability of his presence long term now means that the Angels become one of the most attractive markets for free agents. Hopefully Eppler continues to prioritize the farm system, but has enough flexibility to make necessary trades/signings.
Pitching really is critical to get to championship level, but keeping Trout is going to have an amazing number of positive effects on and off the field.

You know Trout was looking at Adell and thinking damn I wanna man an outfield with him. Adell, Trout and Ohtani are gonna be labeled the holy trinity on the SI cover in 2 years.

Do any of realize just how good of a deal the Angels got?  This literally adds only 2 million onto what Trout makes on a yearly basis already.  They literally just locked up the GOAT for only 2 million more a year!  And with Pujols coming off the books soon, they'll have money to spend.  On top of all of that, they also have a huge wave of prospects arriving in the next two years, and another wave after that, and if Eppler is doing his job right, subsequent waves to follow.
2020-2030 is going to be a GREAT decade to be an Angels fan.

What happened to not negotiating during spring training and him saying that was a very bad sign......

Lol. Considering he's a fan of Philly teams he already does associate himself with them.

Why would Mike Trout want to associate himself with the fans of Philly? 
He's staying...

I was 100% sure this was going to be an injury report on an Angels pitcher.

Another reason Trout should stay. Adell and Ohtani on low dollar deals... once Pujols does what's right and retires we will be able to get Trout all the help he needs and it will be sustainable. 

I suggest you re-take your 8th grade civics class if you think the constitution says that.
