A few days ago, I chatted here on MattChat about the crazy stupid contract given to baseball player Bryce Harper.
Well........ we've now got one that's even crazier stupid:
Star center fielder Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels are finalizing the largest contract in professional sports history, a 12-year deal worth more than $430 million that will smash previous records and could keep the greatest player of his generation with the Angels for the remainder of his career, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN on Tuesday.
Trout, who has won two American League MVP awards and finished second four times, will receive an average of nearly $36 million a year, topping Zack Greinke's previous record average of $34.4 million with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Largest contract in professional sports history. All sports!
He'll be 39 at the end of this contract. 39!!
Such an investment...... such a gamble...... for just 1 guy in the dugout.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
