Two-time AL MVP
Mike Trout has agreed to a 12-year, $430 million contract extension—that will keep him in Anaheim until he is 41 years old. The record breaking contract (with no opt-out clause) will pay Trout $35.8 million a year—marking the highest single-season salary in MLB history. Just recently,
Bryce Harper signed a 13-year, $330 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies (a 'mere' $25.4 million a year). One can only wonder if Red Sox super-star
Mookie Betts is next in line for a $400-million dollar plus extension as well. It would behoove
John Henry to do it and do it
fast. All the goodwill the NOG (New Ownership Group) has built up with their four World Series Championships would be shattered if Betts heads for greener pastures when he is eligible for free-agency.
