Not me. It's disgusting he wasted all those historic performances on a team that couldn't even showcase him in the playoffs.
In all seriousness, you're right.
With Trout as a teammate, no less.
LA's front office is almost as bad as the A's, if not worse.

The garbage and mediocrity they surrounded those two guys on a yearly basis was absolutely shocking. I've always said that if you look at the good teams they All have above average players at catcher and in the infield. The Angels constantly missing the playoffs with Trout and Ohtani reinforces that. Hell, Ohtani filled two positions and they still couldn't put together a good season.

700M

And people were saying he wouldn’t get 600M after his injury.

The Dodgers have become the Yankees of the early 2000’s where they spent more than everyone else and loaded their rosters.

I fail to see how this is good for baseball when one team can just buy all the talent.

How are the small market teams supposed to stand a chance? How are they going to keep their fans faithful and attending games knowing they don’t stand a chance in the NL?
