I was actually a little emotional at this news. I don’t really care about players only team success but Ethan loves Trout. I was so happy for him

it's a hipster thing.  they pour it themselves but are too lazy to drink it.  

[Vegas Halo Fan]

This can't be. Trout is going to the Yankees. I read it here first. Or the Phillies. Or wherever.

Adell is from Louisville  - he will sign with Atlanta. Might as well trade him now.

[Puget Sound Angel]

The thinking was always that as long as Trout was on the team,  we could not rebuild and had to win now to keep him in Anaheim.

Now that we have him for 12 years, does that thinking change?

[Lou]

Trout will be a free agent before Harper 

[disarcina]

wow -- did not hear about this until I heard it on the evening national news !

WOW - Arte is getting this done.

Look, I do not think that ANY player is worth the $450 million over 12 years or whatever it is,. But if there is such a player - his name is MIKE TROUT.

I really could not comprehend a team paying a .249 hitter (Harper) some $330 over 13 years or a guy who was acquired for a post-season run and then flopped (Machado).

all while a certain NL MVP (Yelich) is playing for $6 million a year in Milwaukee.

Oh well,.

Good news for Halo fans.

Now - us oldtimers ALL KNOW that the Cowboy - Gene Autry - would have NEVER spent this kind of money or agreed to a 12 year contract -- the Cowboy once refused to re-sign an 'average pitcher' who he could get two '8-7 pitchers' for instead,. The guy he let go went on to set a bunch of records K's , shut outs, complete games and OH YEAH SEVEN NO HITTERs -- an average pitcher named NOLAN RYAN,

oh well, past history -- tonight Angel fans are definitely singing  Trout's praises...."He's BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN - for 12 more years !"

So factor in the two years of his last contract being replaced how much will his contract net?

It is a 12-year, $426.5-million deal, starting in 2019.

I think we can all be glad that @ettin was wrong about the amount.  

Well they did get to the right number just not in the manner I thought they would.

Well, that's why there was A LOT of losing during the Autry days.

So is it an extension from his current 2 year deal or a totally new deal?  Did they just terminate the current 2 year deal and give him 12 years instead? Is it more or less against the payroll for this year?

[eligrba4ever]

I  read an interesting analysis of the Trout deal and the Angels' financial capacity moving forward. 538 thinks this deal puts the Angels in a comfortable position to enter the fray for Betts in 2021 or for Lindor in 2022.

It is a new contract. 

Basically he was going to get 66.5M for 19-20 and they added $360M and 10 years, but since it’s all one contract they can shuffle the money around in different years. 

That means the Angels luxury tax figure goes up for 19-20, which isn’t a big deal because they had plenty of room. But perhaps this explains why they wanted to keep that room.

Okay thanks for clearing it up. I was confused all day about it.
