The only good thing I see in Mike Trout's future aside from individual accolades.

Is the fact that he can sign with the Dodgers after his arbitration years are up.

Do accolades matter anymore? Baseball awards have become a joke lately...

There is also no way Trout sees free agency, despite the atrocity that is the Angels' front office. :lol:

oh he's making it to free agency.

he's making 500k to be a top 5 player in baseball.
the angels already ruined the relationship there.

Are u saying Mike Trout was pleased with how he was treated by the Angels this offseason?

If that's not what ur saying, I don't need to learn anything.

The Angels will give him a massive extension within 2 seasons and he will accept. Dodger fans starting to sound like Yankees fans from 5 years ago. :lol:

I meant the voters...

There should be two awards:
BPB - Best Player in Baseball
MVP - Stays what it's always been, best player from the 4 playoff teams

I believe the Yanks will be in on Trout for sure. I'm sort of being humorous by saying he can be a Dodger in that time.

would be pretty neat if both him and Harper were FAs at the same time.

grantland consistently puts out some of the best articles out there. their nba write, zach lowe, is arguably the best in the business.

He just homered on his B-Day. Somebody tell him 22 year-olds aren't supposed to OPS over 1.000 :lol:
