Thats got to be a gut hit to Harper. lol
Good on both the Angels and Trout. Time to back up the truck for Bryant and maybe Baez.
Absolutely on both. They have some decent youth upcoming up the middle and at catcher. But as far as pure RH power not so much.
I would upscale to shed Rizzo and Lester. Heyward they are stuck for 4 years at next off season. I really don't see them getting out of it before then.
Now as far as Contreras is concerned I wouldn't over pay. If he is looking payday then trade when Amaya is ready. IMO moving Contreras to RF and Heyward to CF would be a decent in-house solution in 2 years. Amaya should be at A+ this year and we could expect a 3 year period. As a framer he is considered better than avg. Arm is Avg. Bat is above avg. So they could end up trading Contreras and promoting Amaya to find pay roll relief to absorb Baez and Bryant's upscale.

My only hesitation on Baez is I'd like to see if he can maintain his 2018 season. If he does, then I'd have no trouble with the contract you suggested.
Reality is this is an overall good thing for baseball. Houston did this with Altuve. Now LAA with Trout. I think the more you can get teams signing their top young players to long term deals, the better. Now if the lesser market teams can step up their game in that department.
you lose me usually, but can you please stop with the Heyward in center crap. He is below average in center and Contrares fits in right just because he has an arm? If they cubs liked what they saw from Heyward in center in spring training his first year, they would have passed on fowler.
Contracts dont add to a players status. Ask Pujios
Angels will be paying him 36 mil per from Age 30 to 44..lol
