Albert Pujols is now hitting .242/.287/.395 over his last 1,155 plate appearances. Frankly, if I was Trout at this point I'd ask the team if I could personally buy out the rest of his contract.

He's set to make $30 million not this year ($28m), not next year ($29m), but the season after that.

Also compressing the deal to fewer years means more of it is subject to high marginal income tax rates for the player, which is an acute issue for California teams.

They only make sense for someone like Trout or like the original A-Rod deal, which was a good deal. Killer is not that they are still paying Pujols but that they are not treating it as a sunk cost & benching him.
