Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2931337, member: 652"] Age matters. If Trout was becoming a FA at 26 he gets 12/13 yrs over 400 million. He already got 144 million to buy out two of his FA years. It was smart for him and the Angels. FA now is about your age becoming a FA to determine the years you will get. Teams are using analytics to realize paying for years over 36 is stupid. Harper got 13-330 to specifically beat Stanton. He turned down an AAV of 30 million from the Nationals 10-300 offer for 25.4 for the Phillies offer. Trout isn’t going to get the years. He is more likely to get closer to an AAV of 40 million per season than a 10 year 350 million dollar contract. [/QUOTE]
