For them people comparing his deal to Cabrerra's, sports contracts pay based on past performance, not future production. It seems counterintuitive, but that's really the way it works. Trout will probably get at least $200 mil on his next contract even if he tails off over the next 6 years and is just above average instead of great
Miggy is 2 time defending MVP and the only Triple Crown winner in 40 years. Trout's had two great seasons, but it's no where near what Miggy has done.

Exactly, and Miggy has never had a season as good as Trout's past two IMO. If both were totally unrestricted free agents and both player's only goal was to maximize dollar value, Trout would have gotten a bigger contract than Miggy. And if he would have signed for enough years, it could have approached half a billion.
