Mike Trout is worth every dollar of his historic $430 million contract, says Alex Rodriguez.
The former Yankee slugger, who knows a thing or two about massive contracts, called Trout “an incredible deal” for the Los Angeles Angels.
“He is the best player in a $10 billion annual business,” Rodriguez told reporters Thursday on a conference call promoting the upcoming new season of ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball.”
“When you invest in the very best, you’re looking for a fair price for a great asset. You’re not looking to pay a great price for a fair asset,” Rodriguez said.
