Just imagine a life where you could play a game for a job, make millions, and just enjoy your family time.

Not really anything better.

Why has he never agreed to a trade.
He ans Bryce were the first two mega contract signings a decade ago - Bryce went to a winner while Trout stayed with the loser. I have zero sympathy for Trout because had he actually tested the water for free agency instead of closing to stay comfortable in Anaheim he would have been offered big money from all of the contenders. Instead he chose to be the big fish at the bottom of the tank where no other fish want to go swim.

"That Trout Doesn't Swim Upstream".

Dude has wasted, what could have been an all time great career, playing for a shite team.

Pre free agency era players wouldn’t have hesitated to go to the Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys to win a championship. To think otherwise is being obtuse.

In the modern era, Roger Clemens, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Karl Malone, Gary Payton left their teams to win elsewhere and only the first three accomplished that….but, I’m sure they’re pussies correct ?

aka the Josh Allen


Josh Allen despite his faults has actually won a playoff game

Trout is the living example of why WAR is an arse stat. Dude has 37 extrabase hits and is batting .244. Analytics has ruined baseball. Walks should be less valued because if you get on base no one can hit anymore so you're going to get stranded

Remember when you said he's terrible in clutch situations when compared to someone like Ken Griffey

You sound like the people who blasted Ted Williams … only the greatest hitter who ever lived … when he played, calling him selfish because he walked so much because he wouldn’t swing at any pitch that wasn’t a strike.
