Wow. I knew this would happen after Miggy's deal got done.

Great job for both parties. The kid is legit.

Locked up through the 2020 season. Works for both sides.
I am happy it is done.

Angels To Extend Mike Trout
By Jeff Todd [March 28, 2014 at 9:38pm CST]
The Angels have reached agreement on a long-term extension with star outfielder Mike Trout, reports MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez (with Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times tweeting that an announcement is expected tomorrow). The deal covers six years and is worth $144.5MM, Gonzalez further tweets.

The six-year pact will kick in for 2015 and will take Trout through his age-28 season. The deal does not include any option years at the back end, meaning Trout now stands to hit the open market at age 29.

Good for him!

He definitely deserves it so far!

I think he will be the first 400 million man

 

[AmishDave]

So he'll be a FA at 27 or 28 ?

Great deal for both clubs, but man o man, if the Angels don't win a title or two during this run with Trout / Hamilton / Pujols ...

Good deal for both sides.




...and now the Red Sox have a shot at signing him in several years, heh.
