Are there other examples of top 10 players in the history of a sport being content to just wallow in the mediocrity around them and generally operate as under the radar as possible? Trout could have pulled in Ohtani money in free agency and picked any team in the league to get it. Like could you imagine Kobe just chilling on the Pelicans or whatever for his entire career?

It's an average and it only takes one or two people to skew the whole thing

someone get Mike Trout into therapy, this is sad You don’t owe Arte anything, no one will respect you more for staying on the Angels, and “the hard way” is never happening Mike.

Votto maybe? Although the Reds have been better during his career than the Angels during Trout's e: not top 10 in the history of the sport, obviously maybe Teddy Ballgame

Williams got to play in a World Series (that went 7 games) and also never had the option to leave in free agency. Mike Trout has kidnapped himself at this point. Not only could he have left years ago, but he could absolutely demand a trade at this point and get out.

Yeah it's definitely not the same level of dire but it's more to say that McDavid could've gone anywhere and formed his own superteam and he stuck in...Edmonton

Lol. The Cubs sent out a video for their new ad campaign with the hashtag #YouHaveToCIt and got destroyed in the comments to the point they changed it 30 minutes later.

The money quote there is Trout calling a trade "the easy way out" He feels some sense of obligation to stay, as if people will respect him less if he leaves and especially if he leaves to an already good team. Maybe he thinks he personally wouldn't enjoy a World Series run if he did it elsewhere. The man has been gaslit by the worst impulses of sports media.

very happy to see mega deal getter anthony 'faith first' rendon, a man who has his priorities straight (hates baseball), is out there getting that bag and taking up a roser spot someone who loves the game could be using. guess he's gotta collect every dollar on that deal for his four kids, though.

Rendon is a worker and like all workers deserves the right to coast on as little effort as possible to still collect a paycheck

Rendon should just do his dance and be quiet. No one's paying to hear about his perfectly reasonable perspective.
