Searched and didn’t see this posted, so if it has been then blame the site’s shitty search function.

Also, before anyone says this guy is a nobody, he broke Hanley to Boston and Stanton’s extension with the Marlins. Heyman, Olney, Rosenthal and a few others follow him.

Wonder when the opt-out year would be? Would it be after three years? Four?

Would be a steal for the Angels. Many were projecting over $400 mil.

Dude could very well end up as tGOAT.

It’s be a shame if Trout stays with the Angels. He’s the best player in the game playing for a second rate franchise and nobody ever sees his games

Doubt he wants any part of free agency at this point with the obvious collusion going on to lower player salaries

Unlike Harper, Trout is worth every penny.

Yeah I’m guessing these owners and GMs have a big group text sharing what they’re offering free agents

That would piss Harper and Machado off.

He is currently the only player in baseball that's worth a $300m+ contract. Just a shame the Angels haven't done shite to give him hardware other than league MVPs. He deserves to be on a championship contender

I would hope Harper and Machado understand they aren't as good as Trout

I don't think that they do. Or at the very least they seem to think they are worth a similar amount.

Machado really lost some value with his time in LA. Harper is an above-average player but he's much more of an attraction than anything. Just go look at the HR derby last year. But neither are on Trout's level.

I hope this happens solely to set the market again, at least for a few years.

A Trout extension would set off the domino effect of Free Agents signing.

That Braves line is kinda out of left field. 3yrs/30 mil isn't in the ballpark.

I know that. You know that. MLB execs know that. Harper and Machado probably know that, but they still seem to think they are worth a similar amount of money.

One of his Twitter pictures shows him bartending. He hasn’t tweeted since September. I wouldn’t get your hopes up Caleb

So the same amount of tweets as there has been stories even worth reporting.

Like I said, check out the guys who follow him and look at his past work.

This is why I titled the thread ‘Rumor’. The dude could be bullshitting I guess, but he has zero track record of doing so and has broke a couple big scoops.

If Trout gets $40 mil AAV+, Machado would be close to a $25 mil AAV player.

Not on a three year deal

3/90 is a huge lowball offer if that’s even true. Nothing to lose for the Braves in trying I guess
