Just want to say AngelsJunky you do a fantastic job at starting threads like this, and they don't go under-appreciated.
If I was Ohtani, I would leave.
If I was Trout, I'd be looking to get out.
Unless there are some dramatic organizational changes, and let's face it these to guys see it way more than us, we're totally clueless when it comes to developing talent. The talent we acquire tends to turn to shit. The product on the field right now is a joke. Being Ohtani or Trout right now to show up basically expecting to lose because you know what's being put on the field has to be incredibly difficult to navigate. What's the difference between $350 Mill and $450 Mill when you look at it in perspective?
I'm the type of guy that would rather win. Play for a well oiled machine that knows what it takes. A team culture that expects it, and doesn't accept anything less.
And I think Trout and Ohtani are too.
