Hopefully they finally find a big contract that works because they've been a disaster with the big contracts they've given out.
Pujols
Hamilton
Upton
and Trout and Rendon deals are not good either.
Trout is good when he plays, but he's missed so many games the last couple years he's not worth it and nobody knows about the overall condition of his back, they've kept it pretty secret.
Rendon's contract is a disaster already. He's hurt even more than Trout plus is a league average player since joining LAA.
Horrific signings - agreed. I'm from Detroit where we gave Miggy a 5 billion dollar contract in his 30s so I get it. I just don't think you can miss on Othani. The two-way nature of his game suggests to me that if he gets cold from the mound or at the plate, you can simply shift your focus. Between that and his international draw, he's a once in a lifetime guy. Agreed that management needs to surround him. I'm sure they wish they could undo Trout's deal too, but that won't be as bad moving forward and if his back isn't as bad as some say then he should still add value.
