The 27-year-old 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. The $430 million-plus total is more than 30 percent larger than the $330 million deal Bryce Harper signed with the Philadelphia Phillies on March 2 and bests boxer Canelo Alvarez's deal with DAZN by more than $65 million.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's baseball and it wasn't an arbitration agreement, so... all of it.Silvertaps said:
How much guaranteed?
NFL is the only pro sport without fully guaranteed contracts.Silvertaps said:

Most of the players in MLB have a primary residence established in a state without income tax, like Florida or Texas. Wouldn't think his agent and accountant would have his residence strictly in CA due to their tax situation.

maybe some day the Angels will wake up and spend money on pitching.
what they're going to pay Trout, Pujols, and Upton over the next 2 years is absurd. Close to $90 MM per season
I dont think it matters where you live or where your "primary residence" is. You are taxed based on where the money is earned I thought. If he works out/practices/plays in California then its a day of tax there. A friend of mine that was an agent in the NBA said he would have to do approximately 17 different tax returns for his players and track where they practiced, played, filmed ads, had meetings etc every day of the year.Ag13 said:Max Power said:

Each state that has income taxes charges taxes for days worked in the state. For a pro athlete that means when games are played in the state. The angels play 81 home games in Anaheim and a high number of games in Oakland as they are in division. They will also play the dodgers every year and occasionally the giants and padres. Point being they play a ton of their games in California (over half) and you better believe California will be counting those out.
Well, I think you forgot leap years, but yeah, that's right.MosesHallRAB04 said:
Unless I fudged a number that $4090 an hour asleep or awake for the next 12 years.
It doesn't matter how your checks are distributed. You were employed and were there as part of work and make over that state's minimum tax, you pay taxes. Period. There are also some rules about your home office or place of employment location and taxable income (I can't employ you in California, but let you work from home just across the border in Nevada to avoid the tax).astros4545 said:
Interesting on the Florida vs az spring training
Do players get paid with a game check essentially? So 162 game checks, and taxes determined on where those are played?
Does spring training make it like 192 game checks?
Anyone know?
Or is it just salary divided by 365
