The Angels and star outfielder Mike Trout are reportedly finalizing a 12-year, $430-plus million contract extension, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. The deal would be the largest contract extension in pro sports history.

According to Passan, the extension will begin after his current deals expires in 2020. Trout had signed a six-year, $144.5 million deal in 2015.

Trout will earn an average of roughly $36 million per year. The average annual value bests Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Grienke's previous record of $34.4 million.

Trout, a two-time American League MVP, is entering his ninth season in the league.
