Shohei got out to go to a winning team. Trout elected to stay. I guess there's something to be said for loyalty, but it was not a reputation-enhancing move. I guess in hindsight it would not have mattered because of the injuries. In comparison, Betts and Harper, the other two great outfielders of that generation, have been involved in great numbers of meaningful games.
