What would make it a route you wish the Cubs would take? I personally have a really hard time seeing Trout not far surpassing those ZiPS. No way do I see him as a 110 hitter in 5 years. Maybe I'm blind but I think he's safely a 140-150 hitter over the next 5, but how much he plays is the hang-up. Would you trade PCA, Alcantara, or Shaw for him if he comes with $7/150?

Trout has averaged 79 games the last 3 seasons, it's extremely difficult to armchair QB what a good choice is because it's entirely dependent on the medical side of things given the diverse and habitual nature of the injuries.

Trouts next team will be Philly. He’s heavily invested in south jersey, building a golf course there and probably preparing to retire there in next few years when he breaks

A part of me is convinced that the Angels are nothing more than the West Coast Mets and that if you get Trout out of there, he’ll play 145 games each of the next four years.

Probably not far off the mark.

I think Philly has an in with Trout for obvious reasons but if the Cubs have any chance at all, they should make that call and try to land him.

I'd rather go to the number Juan beach in San Diego.
