Yup. All the while Trout will by eyeing his 10 year deal he will get where he knows they will spend. And in 2-3 years, there is no certainty that the rebuild will work (do you really trust the Angels braintrust to do it right?). We still won't have any top picks like KC, Pittsburgh, Houston, Tampa Bay, Chicago are benefitting/benefitted from. KC has 8 years of top 10 picks that are finally coming to maturity. Chicago had the last 5 years of top 10 picks. Pittsburgh had 7 and 8 out of 9 before coming to maturity. Houston had 5 years, including 3 years in a row of #1 picks. And we all know about Tampa Bay's draft histories.
You have a once in a generation player. You have to go all in. You can rebuild after he leaves.
