$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. 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.
