Mike Trout and the Angels have agreed to terms on a 1-year $1 million deal for the 2014 season. That's a significant raise from the paltry $510,000 he got last year.

This news leads me to that a bigger extension is hopefully on the horizon possibly starting with the 2015 season.  All in all, I'm still cautiously optimistic that something will get done.  Until that happens, I will be anxiously biting my nails!  Just kidding!

Mike Trout, considered among many baseball fans to be the best all around player in baseball future face of MLB, and the Angels are discussing a $150 million dollar extension according to www.mlbtraderumors.com.  Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports that the deal would buy out two free agent seasons and allow Trout to become a free agent at age 28.  Trout is represented by LSW Baseball.  

On behalf of Angel fans everywhere I say a cautious yahoo!  Please Arte Moreno, make this happen.  I know you're previous big free agents signings haven't panned out yet (Pujols and Hamilton) but all will mostly be forgiven if you can pull the trigger.
