On Sunday night, news broke that had a direct tie to Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout. While the best player in baseball is generally in the news for what he does on the diamond, Trout was instead front and center for something that another athlete accomplished, one that isn’t even involved in baseball.
Mike Trout is no longer the highest-paid athlete in sports.
The mantle has been passed on to another transcendent athlete, as Patrick Mahomes II now wears the crown. The quarterback and the Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a 10-year, $503 million deal according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
