The best thing about having a 12-year deal is knowing that you are going to be in this spot for a while. And I know what to expect. Each and every season I come in, I know where I’m going to be. Q. What is it going to mean that for 12 years you don’t have to worry about anything? A. Yeah, that’s another big thing is just being able to go out there and play. I don’t have to worry about any other things. I don’t have to worry about a contract and I can just do my thing and just go out and play baseball. Q. Did that ever become a concern for you? A. Ah, no. But, you know, it’s definitely comforting. Q. How much of an interest was it to look at the market? A. There was. But, I’m obviously happy here. So, my wife and I made that decision that we wanted to stay. Q. What do you like most about playing in Southern California? A. You cannot beat the weather — every night 70 degrees. And obviously, living by the beach is awesome. Q. What has this year, the last few years, taught you? A. Offensively, I know my swing. And just with experience over the last few years — not just the last two, year by year, getting better in all aspects. 9 9-12 QA Trout.indd 9 8/26/19 3:59 PM Q-AND-A WITH MIKE TROUT Q.
