So, ESPN’s Jeff Passan is reporting that Mike Trout is going to get paid. Like hella paid. The reported terms are 12 years and over $430 million. For perspective, Bryce Harper recently signed a 13-year deal worth over $100 million less than this deal.
Sometimes the news of the day influences the DJ residing in all of our heads. This tune immediately came to my mind when reports of the Trout deal were surfacing. Something more analytical on the Trout contract is sure to appear in this blog space quite soon. Allow this song to provide the soundtrack.
