Trout's agent upset with Angels

Mike Trout?s agent, Craig Landis, is disappointed with the Angels over the amount of money for which they chose to renew his client?s contract. Trout just completed his rookie season for the Angels. MLB players with 0-3 years of service time are paid what the team chooses (so long as it?s over the minimum). Players are arbitration eligible from years 4-6, and they become free agents after six years of service time. Because he only has one year of service time, the Angels had the right to pay Trout whatever they chose. They opted to renew his contract for $510,000, which is just $20,000 more than the minimum salary. ?In my opinion, this contract falls well short of a ?fair? contract and I have voiced this to the Angels throughout the process,? agent Craig Landis said Saturday, per Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Landis reportedly said Trout was also disappointed with the amount of money for which the Angels chose to renew his contract. Teams generally renew the contracts of players
