Obviously Mike Trout has value, but at what cost.
He is on the trading block in our AL only 5x5 OBP instead of ave. 12 team keeper $260 budget. His contract is $53C. This means play him out or give an extension as $5 per year. He has lost massive money for his current owner. He is being offered for a reserve draft pick upgrade (13 picks in the reserve round).
I do not think anyone will make that trade. Trout will be back in the auction. FanGraphs has him at $34.2 I find myself thinking that seems low. So what would I pay? Not $40. Don't think I would pay $39. If bidding stalled at $34 would I say $35? I think I would. $36 maybe. $37 gives me the sweats and I am not sure. $38 nope. With this thinking he will maintain his active streak of never having been on my roster.
I would think Spring Training might have a lot to say about his value going into auctions and drafts this year. He is still only 30 years old so age is not much of a factor.
So how much would you pay for Mike Trout this coming year?
If you own him will you keep him and at what cost?
If you could pick him basically free but cost you $53 if kept. Or maybe to hold him to see what happens in Spring Training would you do it?
