No thank you. Not again.

+1 agree for all his greatness Trouts best years are behind, health a concern for last several years, and a contract that is huge.
I also do not see the Angels eating any of trouts contract but could be wrong.
And if someone gets him with a middle package could be a steal of a deal for a year or so if he can get a year or 2 of relative health. When he is healthy he still puts up some nice numbers

So Yankee fans don't want Trout...fair enough. Maybe Uncle Uncle Stevie can pay up and bring Trout to Queens. And hopefully Ohtani too

Uncle Stevie can have Trout, but please leave Ohtani alone. If the baseball gods are smiling down on us fans, then it will be Ohtani to the Dodgers.

hopefully Uncle Stevie stays away from Trout.
First he would have to trade away some assets and is just begin to rebuild the farm system and he would have to take over that contract on a great player that is getting up their in age and related health issue.
If fully healthy I would love to have him on my team but because of the health concerns I would prefer to stay away
Stevie better Sign Alonso to a long term contract and not trade him

Alonso looks more and more like Adam Dunn. BA .222 right now.

You are right Peter. With his batting average he is.

But the game has changed now where batting average is the outlier andpower numbers is what it about.

except for the special players like Acuna, Othani, Judge etc most players that put up 25 plus homers have high high strike outs and low averages.

But Alonso is hitting the homers over 40, hitting in RBI's over 100 and not many are near those number in the league and Alonso is been consistent with those types of numbers.

He is not a super star like some others and not putting up Olson, freeman numbers etc but he would be very very hard to replace his consistency and his production

For example
Most homers since 2018 190. 4th in all of MLB
Most RBI's since 2018 485. 11th in all of MLB.
most Runs since 2018 392. #31 in all of mlb

not bad for someone who is not hitting for average

As Alonso's Rookie season was 2019, if you look at numbers since when he was a Rookie, they are even more impressive:

#1 in Home Runs with 190 (2nd best is Olson with 174)
#1 in RBIs (666 to Olson's 650)
#9 in Slugging
#14 in OPS
#14 in Runs
