The Phillies ($121.2 million), Yankees ($110.7 million) and Nationals ($107.4 million) are the only clubs with more than $100 million in guaranteed money for the 2021 season, the year Trout could potentially be playing elsewhere.
Bryce harper contract vs mike trout free#
If Trout is unable to agree to a deal with the Angels and becomes a free agent, you can pretty well imagine what the market would be like for him. Along with the Angels, there will likely be plenty of teams willing to throw that kind of money Trout’s way. But this does show that Trout’s value is so high that he is more than capable and deserving of receiving a deal that approaches $400 million and possibly even $500 million. Obviously, no team will hand out $1.2 billion for Trout, regardless of what the insane numbers may tell you. $1.2 billion.- Manny Randhawa March 1, 2019 If Trout's next contract were to be valued at just the equivalent in dollars/WAR over the last 3 years, his contract would be To further illustrate:Ī mildly ridiculous exercise, but why not: The truly absurd aspect of this potential Trout contract is he’ll likely be underpaid even if he receives hundreds of millions of dollars. Now that we have three comparable (relatively) young players who signed huge deals that will cover some prime years, we can examine Trout’s possible contract. This means there’s very little to scare teams off from handing over millions of dollars to him. Given Trout’s insanely consistent production (five 9+ WAR seasons) and improving numbers at the plate (career-best 191 wRC+ in 2018), there’s no reason to think he’ll stop being an elite player any time soon. Trout eventually finished the 2018 season with a higher WAR than Cobb through age 26, making him the most productive player at his age in baseball’s long history. Trout’s production through age 26 is unparalleled by anyone in baseball history, which is evidenced quite well by this graphic from Cut 4. Trout will almost certainly break the record contract Harper just signed and it might not be by a small amount. This has led to frantic discussion (specifically at the Angels twittersphere) about Trout’s future contract and who he may be playing with in a few years. Both Trout and the Angels have expressed interest in discussing a new contract but no formal negotiations have begun. Unsurprisingly, the attention has now turned to Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout, who has just two years remaining on his seven year, $144.5 million deal. In a matter of nine days, three of baseball’s best young players signed lucrative long-term deals that will keep them with their current franchises for the next decade. This came just days after Nolan Arenado signed an eight year, $260 million extension with the Colorado Rockies, which came a week after Manny Machado signed a 10 year, $300 million deal with the San Diego Padres. It's respecting Mike Trout in a certain way during the season and letting him play and do the things he needs to do to of course be Mike Trout, but if you don't think I'm gonna call Mike Trout in 2020 to have him come to Philly, you're crazy.Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies just agreed upon the largest contract in North American sports history, a deal that will pay Harper $330 million over the next 13 years. But if you want to be a part of a winning team, a winning culture, then we're gonna need the best players to do that and I don't think John (Middleton)'s scared to go out and get the best guys that we need to have. If you don't wanna come to Philly, then don't come, don't be a part of it. This is where the fans are great, ownership understands it, our manager is awesome.' I can really put that faith in myself and being able to say we're gonna go about it the right way, we're the Philadelphia Phillies and we want whoever wants to come to Philly. I can say, 'Hey, this is the place to be. Having 13 years in one place, I can help recruit guys to this organization," Harper said.įor me, I can be able to talk to Trout or whoever it is, big-name free agent thinking about coming to Philly. "That's one thing about this contract that I'm able to do. On 94WIP with Jon Marks and Ike Reese Tuesday afternoon, Harper left no doubt that he will be heavily recruiting Trout and any other free agent who wants to help the Phillies win. Let's just say Bryce might have said a bit too much this time. If you thought Bryce Harper's hint at Mike Trout in his introductory news conference Saturday was interesting.
