    Default Mike Trout Close to Huge Contract Extension

    Liz Roscher,Yahoo Sports•March 19, 2019

    Mike Trout, the best player in baseball, isn’t going anywhere for a long, long time.

    ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported on Tuesday that Trout and the Los Angeles Angels are finalizing an absolutely massive contract extension that will keep Trout with the Angels for the rest of his career.

    According to ESPN, the extension is for 12 years and $430 million. Trout has two years left on his current six-year, $144 million contract, and once the extension kicks in, he’ll be the highest-paid player in baseball (and he’ll own the record for highest per year salary ever). He’ll be paid just short of $36 million a year, smashing the record previously held by Zack Greinke and his current $34.4 million salary from the Arizona Diamondbacks.

    There is no question that Trout deserves a contract of this size. He’s been the consensus best player in baseball since his first full season in 2012. He’s played for eight seasons and has a career triple slash of .307/.416/.573. He won the American League Rookie of the Year in 2012, and the AL Most Valuable Player award in 2014 and 2016. He’s finished in second place four times in MVP voting, and has never finished outside the top ten. He’s won six Silver Slugger awards, and has been an All-Star every full season he’s played. He’s a no doubt future Hall of Famer, and now he’ll be an Angel for the rest of his career.
