Signing one guy to such a massive contract in baseball makes no sense as one guy in baseball doesn't move the needle that much. It's not like basketball where a player can have a nearly 40% usage rate.

Mike Trout is a better baseball player than Bryce Harper. But is he $100 million better? If I'm #BryceHarper, I'm firing my agent immediately if not sooner.

LJL at fanbois arguing that teams spend too much money on these players like it's their money at stake, or that it's a dumb investment. Tell me the last MLB/NBA/NHL/NFL franchise that went bankrupt because its payroll was exorbitant. Tell me why you know more about the true value of players than the market. We laugh at teams overpaying and they laugh at us for thinking they're losing money on it. Look at how many tickets and jerseys the Phillies sold before Bryce even took a BP.

Trout may be the greatest MLB player of all time when all is said and done. However, (a) the Angels never make the playoffs with him and (b) if he walked into a bar he'd be less recognized than like the guy who plays Pam's old boyfriend on the Office.

$400 million just seems like a lot of money for a guy who doesnt make a tangible difference and no one cares about.
