Mike Trout, Angels 'Finalizing' Historic 12-Year, $430M Contract
that's the type of contract Bryce Harper was seeking from Washington, but Harper is nowhere near the type of player Trout isMike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels are "close to finalizing" a record-breaking 12-year, $430 million contract, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Trout currently has two years and $66.5 million remaining on the six-year, $144.5 million deal he signed back in 2014. He was set to hit free agency following the 2020 season. Per Passan, the new deal would add on 10 years to Trout's current deal.
The 10-year extension will be worth $363.5 million and includes a full no-trade clause, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times added that the contract would not include any opt-outs.
