I think he’s worth it, but it’s still hard to comprehend this.$221,119 Per Game
They care about winning. Their biggest issue is an owner that likes to get too involved. Pushing for the playoffs by signing overpriced vets. Or trading away the prospects they do produce to try and just get in the Wild Card. Instead of having a long term plan that would have them in contention most years they try to thread the needle every year.It's a shame that he'll be marooned out there in Anaheim playing on the West Coast in games that no one will watch, and that he'll never be on a team that'll consistently win. He could be the game's biggest star if he played in a better (for TV) time one, and on a team that cared more about winning.
He should be in his absolute prime for at least five more years. It is too bad that most of his games start after 9-10 pm for most of the country. It's also a shame that the Angels keep surrounding him with teammates that can't get them over the hump.It's a shame that he'll be marooned out there in Anaheim playing on the West Coast in games that no one will watch, and that he'll never be on a team that'll consistently win.

Cool. Love guys staying home and playing for the teams that brought them up.

They are the best in the world at what they do and generate more than they make for their employer. The fact that they make their money playing a game we all played as a kid is not relevant. No one pays big money to watch me work.Unless you're curing aids or cancer or both, no human deserves that sort of compensation. Athletes, movie stars and entertainers are dumb blockheads. Society is messed up to reward the useless.

Sure I'm jealous. When the next numbnut who has a brain tumor who comes up to me, should I ask $.5 Billion for a better treatment? It's absurd and we all know it. These clowns aren't worth this compensation. Who cares what they make for their team owners? That just reflects the stupidity of society who goes to games and allows such asinine compensation.He absolutely deserves it, because he's worth it. You sounds jealous.
That is neither honest nor correct. It is though your opinion.To be honest no MLB player is worth more $20
million per year. It is ridiculous to have a contract
over 5 years. There is some insanity among MLB
owners for overpaying and overextending these
inane contracts.

That's a very narrow view. Without the release of entertainment, whether through movies, music, sports, etc. society would implode. Sports play a valuable role in the mental well being of healthy people. Those who excel and bring enjoyment to millions deserve commensurate compensation.What I do or any other physician scientist does is 1 trillion x times more valuable. What some guy does in terms of hitting a ball is ultimately irrelevant. Perhaps society however is unintelligent
and values stupid things. When I was an undergrad I used to tutor athletes at Iowa. I actually got a thank you note from one ( no names) for helping him raise his grade from a F to a D. He was barely literate, at best. I don't hold athletes in general in high regard but I do love the hroters
The key word there is commensurate, not insane. That's my whole point. If you go back to the 80's athletes roughly entertained the same number of people but their wages weren't an asinine multiple of other wage earners. These days they are and that's plain stupid and ultimately unsustainable.That's a very narrow view.

How about $1 million in back rent to his host family?He should send some money back to Iowa, after all he honed his skills here in Cedar Rapids in A ball. He hit .362 in 368 plate appearances. Saw him a couple times and knew he wouldn't be there long...
I'd love it if Kris Bryant stays at home, but, he'll go to whoever pays him the most money. Trout got a boatload of money, and he gets to live in Southern California. If Milwaukee had paid him more he'd be giving a press conference today about how he's always loved the skyline of Milwaukee, and whitefish straight from the Great Lakes.Cool. Love guys staying home and playing for the teams that brought them up.
Anything dat help out dee po lanlawd is otay by me...How about $1 million in back rent to his host family?

$50k per at bat just blows my mind.

Yes, people like Tim and I who have functional brains find this absurd. And yes I played sports. Did you or are you still living the Al Bundy years?You & your boy Tim seem like a couple of whiny old ladies. I can only imagine how annoying you are to watch a game with, assuming you know anything about sports.

More than that how would you like to be some “numnut” with a brain tumor. I know I would go find a Dr would was probably making a lot more money by being the top in his field instead of one whining about it.
Maybe he has a brain tumor? Last I checked, most neurosurgeons don't make 36 million dollars a year (to Mr Beach) and they certainly should be compensated better than some jock or a glorified gym teacher. Just saying.What did the English language ever do to you?
