www.espn.comI don’t have live access to current web updates right now. Here’s what’s generally known about Mike Trout’s contracts up to recent years, which can help frame the latest news you’re after:
- The Angels signed Mike Trout to a landmark 12-year deal in 2014 worth about $426.5 million, beginning in 2015, making him one of the highest-paid players in MLB history at the time. This deal included a full no-trade clause and set a long-term template for elite guarantees in baseball.[3][4]
- In 2019, reports emerged that Trout was nearing or had agreed to a new extension that would push the total value around the $430 million range, further extending his stay with the Angels and solidifying his position as one of the game's top-paid players for the foreseeable future.[6][7][9]
- There were multiple outlets in 2014 covering the six-year extension that predated the 2015 start of the 12-year mega-deal, illustrating how Trout’s camp and the Angels pursued long-term security and market-record money for service-time considerations.[2][5]
